Ingredients

1 avocado – peeled, pitted, diced

1 lime, juiced (about 2 Tbsp)

1 mango – peeled, seeded, diced

1 small red onion, chopped

1 habanero chile pepper, seeded and chopped (adjust to heat preference)

1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a serving bowl, toss diced avocado with lime juice immediately to prevent browning.
  2. Add mango, red onion, habanero, cilantro, and salt.
  3. Gently toss to combine—careful not to mash the avocado.
  4. Serve immediately with chips, or spoon over grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.

Notes

  • For milder heat, replace habanero with red bell pepper or jalapeño (membrane and seeds removed).
  • Substitute mango with pineapple for a tropical variation.
  • Add diced cucumber for extra crunch; parsley or mint work in place of cilantro.
  • To keep avocado fresh longer, press plastic wrap directly onto the salsa surface and store in the fridge—this minimizes air exposure and helps slow browning :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
