Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ cup fresh mango peeled and diced
  • ¼ cup green onions finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup ripe avocado peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 jalapeño pepper thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Prepare the Mango: Peel the fresh mango using a vegetable peeler. Carefully slice the flesh away from the pit, cut it into thin strips, and dice into small, even cubes. Measure ⅔ cup of diced mango and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
  • Chop the Green Onions: Trim the green onions and slice them into small, thin rounds. Measure ¼ cup of chopped green onions and add them to the bowl with the mango.
  • Dice the Red Onion: Peel the red onion and finely dice it into small, uniform pieces. Measure ¼ cup and add it to the mixing bowl.
  • Chop the Cilantro: Gather the fresh cilantro and finely chop it using a sharp knife. Measure 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro and sprinkle it over the mango and onions.
  • Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado lengthwise around the pit and carefully separate the halves. Remove the pit and peel away the skin. Slice the avocado into evenly sized pieces, measure 1 cup, and gently add them to the bowl.
  • Add the Lime Juice: Cut a fresh lime in half and squeeze out the juice using a citrus juicer. Measure 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and pour it evenly over the avocado and other ingredients.
  • Season the Salsa: Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of ground red pepper over the ingredients. Distribute the seasonings evenly to help balance the sweetness of the mango and the richness of the avocado.
  • Gently Mix the Ingredients: Using a large spoon, carefully toss the mango, green onions, red onion, cilantro, avocado, lime juice, and seasonings together. Mix gently until everything is evenly coated, taking care not to mash the avocado.
  • Slice the Jalapeño: Place the jalapeño pepper on a cutting board and carefully slice it into thin rounds. Add the sliced jalapeño to the mixing bowl.
  • Give the Salsa a Final Toss: Gently stir the ingredients once more to evenly distribute the jalapeño throughout the salsa. Avoid excessive mixing to keep the mango cubes and avocado slices intact.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Mango and Avocado Salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately while the ingredients are fresh and vibrant. The combination of sweet mango, creamy avocado, tangy lime, and spicy peppers makes this a refreshing addition to any meal.
