Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango, diced into small cubes
- 2 cups ripe avocado, diced into small cubes
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered (or diced roma tomatoes)
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- ½ cup red onion, minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh-squeezed
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Dice the mango and avocado. To do this slice the avocado in half lengthwise through the middle. Remove the pit from the middle of the avocado. Use a sharp knife to slice the avocado into small cubes, without slicing through the skin of the avocado. Pop the cubes of avocado out and into a medium bowl.
- Follow this blog post for how to dice a mango, then add it to the bowl with the avocado. Add the quartered cherry tomatoes, minced jalapenos, minced red onions, chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, black pepper and salt.
- Use a spatula to mix everything together gently, so you don’t mash the avocado or smash the mango.
- Serve immediately, or place in the fridge until you’re ready to serve the salsa.
Notes
- If you don’t like cilantro, you can substitute in flat leaf parsley or fresh basil leaves.
- Always make sure to use ripe avocados and mango. If the mangos or avocados are not ripe yet, they will be hard and the texture of the salsa will be compromised. To quickly ripen the avocados and/or mangos, store them in a brown paper bag in a cool, dark place, like the pantry, for one day. This will help speed up the ripening process.
- This salsa is best eaten within 1-2 days. The avocado will start to brown after you dice it and turn it into salsa. The lime juice will prevent the avocado from browning immediately, but it’s still best if eaten quickly. If you have leftover mango avocado salsa, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator.
