    Ingredients You Need to Make Mango Avocado Salsa

    mango salsa ingredients on a white marble board
    • Mango: ideally a fresh, ripe mango
    • Avocado: ripe, but firm enough to dice
    • Red Cabbage: or green cabbage
    • Red Bell Pepper: or yellow or orange sweet pepper
    • Green Onion 
    • Jalapeño: leave the seeds for extra spice
    • Fresh Cilantro
    • Fresh Lime Juice:  about ½ lime
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
    • Ground Cumin
    • Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

    What kind of a salsa eater are you? When you dip a chip, do you scoop out just enough salsa to coat a corner? Or do you scoop so much that your chip is barely visible? I'm the latter.

    I love my salsas raw, chunky, and good enough to eat straight by the spoonful. This mango avocado salsa qualifies.

    When I'm planning to serve this salsa as a dip for chips, I dice all of the ingredients quite small so they're less likely to topple off (the same is true for Pico de Gallo). For topping seared fish, fish tacos, Pulled Pork Nachos or Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa, I make a coarser version.

    How do you cut a mango?

    For cutting mangoes, this mango splitter is indispensable. It's one of the few gadgets that's really worth owning. Just cut a tiny slice from the mango bottom (to make it stable on end), center the splitter over the stem and in one downward motion you'll have two beautiful halves of mango flesh separated from the core. I recommend peeling the mango before splitting it, but after is fine too. Whatever works best for you.mango cut with a splitter

      I would never have thought about adding purple cabbage to salsa - but it's a great idea! The crunch is key. Love this salsa for spring...either by itself or on top of fish tacos!!

      Haha! Your question about salsa style made me laugh. As a kid, my family would occasionally go out for Mexican food. I would go all in on the salsa, while my sister would "dip" her chips in the salsa so carefully that I doubt any salsa ever got on the chip. Hilarious! Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that's how Robbie would dip his chips...if we could get him to dip 'em at all. 🙂

      In other news, this mango salsa sounds delicious! Perfect for summer grilling season!

        Robbie is such a character, David! It really is funny how different people are about how they 'dip' into salsa!

        Thank you and yes! Perfect for grilling season!

      What a gorgeous, flavourful salad! Love sweet and savoury combos so this is right up my alley. Now, all I need is chips...though, truth be told, I could eat this as is by the spoonful 😉

      There's no fruit I love more than mango. I've just started getting them again and they are getting sweeter and sweeter. Love that it's the star of your salsa, and with all of the other brightly-colored ingredients, it's beautiful! I love it with all of the savory dishes you mentioned, especially grilled fish, and I could really just eat it with a spoon. 🙂

      Mmmmmmm I love mango with just about anything savory. But this salsa is the bomb. Love all of the ingredients in it, like the purple cabbage. It really makes the salsa beautiful.

      I'm heading to Florida this Friday to visit our son Sean and my mom Marissa. Sean is a HUGE mango fan. I'll need to make this for him while I'm there!
