Let’s dive into the recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 ripe tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional to spark up some heat)
Directions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the mangoes and avocados into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. If you’re using jalapeño, dice it finely as well.
Mix: In a medium bowl, gently combine the mangoes, avocados, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). The key is to mix delicately to ensure the avocado maintains its shape and doesn’t turn mushy.
Season: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it one final gentle toss.
Serve: Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Now that our salsa is ready, it’s time to serve it up and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
The beauty of Mango Avocado Salsa lies in its versatility. Here are a few ways to enjoy it:
- With tortilla chips as a refreshing dip.
- As a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp.
- Scooped over tacos or nachos for an extra layer of flavor.
- Simply on its own, as a light and nutritious salad.
Tips for the Perfect Salsa
- Choosing the Right Fruits: For the best flavor and texture, use mangoes that are ripe but still firm to touch. Avocados should be ripe enough to yield a slight pressure but not too soft.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The lime juice helps prevent the avocado from browning quickly, but it’s best consumed within a day or two.
Incorporating mango and avocado into your diet through this salsa is not only a delightful culinary experience but also a step towards a healthier lifestyle. So, the next time you’re looking for a quick, easy, and nutritious dish, give this Mango Avocado Salsa a try – your taste buds (and your body) will thank you!
