Why We’re Crazy about this Mango Salsa:

There’s something irresistible about sweet juicy mangos in salsa. The fresh mango flavor carries you to your favorite tropical destination with every bite. Who doesn’t want to feel like they are on vacation eating salsa? When mangos are in season, this is on our regular rotation and always disappears fast.

5 Ingredient Mango Salsa:

Fresh Mango Salsa has just 5 ingredients and takes 5 minutes to prepare!

Mango: for the perfect fresh mango, look for one that is plump and round, slightly soft but not mushy
Avocado: Adds a delicious creaminess to the salsa
Red Onion: diced red onions provide mild flavor and add color to this fresh salsa
Cilantro: our go-to fresh herb for salsa
Lime Juice: freshly squeezed from the lime is best, if needed substitute fresh lemon juice

If you Love Spicy Salsa:

If you prefer to add some heat to this mango avocado salsa, you can toss in some finely chopped fresh or canned jalapeños. We love spicy salsas, so I often sneak in hot peppers and have even been known to add super spicy serrano peppers.

How to Make Mango Salsa:

In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice (we love this hand juicer) over the top of diced ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine then serve.

Make Ahead Tip: If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap directly over the surface and refrigerate.
