The Best Mango Avocado Salsa Recipe
This easy mango avocado salsa recipe has the perfect harmony of flavors and textures! The juicy, ripe mango brings a natural sweetness that complements the creamy, butter avocado. Red onion adds a crunchy bite and cilantro brings a lovely freshness! With just 6 ingredients, you can create this light and vibrant salsa that works well as an appetizer, topping, or even a side salad!
INgredients Needed
Mango: Choose a ripe mango that is just slightly soft when pressed! This will ensure that it is juicy, sweet mango. Avocado: You will also need a ripe, slightly soft avocado! Red Onion: Dice the red onion into small pieces. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use a shallot instead. Cilantro: Cilantro is key in adding a bright, herbaceous flavor. If you are not a fan of cilantro, you can use parsley instead. However, it will result in a different flavor! Lime: Lime brightens up the flavors and helps to keep the avocado from browning! Fresh squeezed lime juice is best, but you can use bottled if you are in a pinch. Salt & Pepper: Season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste!

Recipe Variations
Make it spicy! Add in some spice by adding diced fresh jalapeño peppers or serrano peppers. The more you add, the spicier it’ll be! For a heartier version, you can feel free to add in a can of rinsed black beans and sweet corn! Fresh corn will taste best, but fresh or frozen and thawed would work as well. For a more traditional salsa, add in some diced fresh tomatoes as well!
Serving Suggestions
Mango avocado salsa pairs well with a variety of dishes, and will brighten up just about any meal! Here are some of my favorite ways to serve it:
With Tortilla Chips: Serve as a fresh, zesty dip for tortilla chips at your next gathering. Tacos & Bowls: Use it as a topping for shredded chicken tacos, or tacos with slow cooker barbacoa beef. It would also go great on a homemade chicken burrito bowl! Proteins: Spoon it over grilled chicken, simple air fryer salmon, or cilantro lime shrimp and rice for a light, summery touch.
