Mango-Avocado Salsa Surprise

Hey friends!
I’ve always been a huge fan of salsas, but this Mango-Avocado Salsa holds a special place in my heart.
It all started during a summer BBQ a few years back when I decided to switch things up from the usual tomato salsa.
The moment I took that first bite, I was hooked!
It’s fresh, bright, and bursting with flavors that just scream sunshine, making it perfect for any occasion.
Plus, it’s super easy to whip up – just chop, mix, and enjoy!

- ✓No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
- ✓Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
- ✓Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mangoes should be ripe for the sweetest flavor. If they’re a bit firm, give them a day or two on your countertop to soften up. And don’t skip the lime juice – it’s key to brightening everything up! If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can swap it out for parsley or just leave it out altogether.
Tips & Notes
- •I love storing leftovers in a glass container, where they stay fresh for a couple of days, although the avocado will brown a bit.
- •If you want it to be extra zesty, throw in a bit of zest from the lime before squeezing it!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a handful of black beans for a protein boost and extra texture.
- •You could also mix in some diced pineapple for a tropical twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Just remember, the avocado will brown a bit, so it’s best to enjoy this salsa within a day or two.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
I find that it's best enjoyed fresh. But if you need to prepare it ahead, just mix everything except the avocado and add it right before serving to keep it vibrant.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by dicing the ripe mango and avocado into bite-sized pieces. I like to use a sharp knife to make clean cuts.
- 2
Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if you’re using it). The colors here are just so beautiful!
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
- 4
Drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture. This not only adds flavor but helps keep the avocado from browning.
- 5
Sprinkle in the sea salt and black pepper, and give everything a gentle toss. Be careful not to mash the avocado!
- 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. I often add a pinch more salt or lime juice depending on my mood.
- 7
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos, salads, or even grilled veggies!
