Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe mangos (slightly soft to the touch)
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (or serrano for more heat)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced (optional for extra crunch)
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1–2 limes, juiced (about 3–4 tablespoons)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional but adds warmth)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prep the mangos: Peel and dice into small cubes. Aim for pieces about the size of corn kernels so every bite is balanced.
  2. Dice the veggies: Finely chop red onion, jalapeño, and bell pepper. Keep the jalapeño seeds out for mild heat; leave some in if you like it spicier.
  3. Chop cilantro: Roughly chop the leaves and tender stems.
  4. Combine the base: In a medium bowl, add mango, onion, jalapeño, bell pepper, and cilantro.
  5. Add lime and seasoning: Squeeze in lime juice, then add cumin, a good pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Fold in avocado last: Dice the avocado and gently fold it into the salsa. Taste and adjust lime, salt, and heat as needed.
  7. Rest briefly: Let the salsa sit for 5–10 minutes to meld flavors. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
