Ingredients
Fruit and Vegetables
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Other Ingredients
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced mangoes, diced avocados, red onion, finely chopped jalapeño, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the mixture with fresh lime juice and olive oil, if using, to enhance the flavor and add a light creaminess.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste over the salsa to balance the sweetness and acidity.
- Toss Gently: Gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated, taking care not to mash the avocado so that the salsa retains a chunky texture.
- Chill: Cover and chill the salsa in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and enhance before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to help the salsa hold its shape better and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- For added texture and freshness, consider adding diced cucumber or red bell pepper to the salsa.
- This salsa is best enjoyed the same day it is prepared to enjoy the vibrant flavors and fresh texture.
