Mango salsa is a refreshing break from the usual with pops of fresh fruit, creamy avocado, and tangy lime. And its so easy, it can be ready in 15 minutes!
Mango avocado salsa just might be my new favorite thing on this planet. Yes, its that good. It’s mango season and we can all thank our lucky stars that we can get plump juicy mangos right now.
I know some of you reading this might think, whats the big deal but the mangos but usually the mangos we get are either unripe or totally mushy and gross. So, when they’re good, we rejoice and eat as many as we can.
Someday I hope to join you and pick mangos every day from a tree right outside my window, but for now, my hammock is in storage and I’ll have to settle for imports. When they’re good, I buy them and when they’re not, we go without.
And when they’re good, what better way to enjoy them than a mango avocado salsa that showcases the fruit in all its glory. This stuff puts all other salsas to shame. The fruitiness is toned down by just enough salt and savory ingredients to make this a totally snack worthy appetizer.
Or, serve it with a main dish. Mango avocado salsa goes fabulously with fish tacos or anything else along those lines that needs a pop of fresh fruity flavor.
I’ve been raving about mangos since sharing that coconut mango chia pudding with you. Mango is the perfect topping and that would be a great dessert to serve after this mango salsa.
I used to think I didn’t like mangos, but I just hadn’t met the right mango. When they’re good, they’re crazy delicious. When they’re bad, you might as well just pass.
