Avocado Mango Salsa



This fresh salsa made from mangoes and avocado will help bring a little sunshine to a dreary winter day. Full of fresh ingredients that taste delicious with tortilla chips. I made this for our family this weekend and was in a hurry to put it on the game table for the kids that I forgot to take some extra photos with the chips.

Ingredients:
  • 2 avocados peeled, pitted and chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1 bunch of cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion minced
  • 1/2 jalapeno seeded and minced
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Gently mix all ingredients together and enjoy with tortilla chips. This served 6 people as an appetizer.

    This is an interesting take on salsa...but it sounds delicious! I'll have to try it. If no one else in the family likes it, I guess I'll enjoy eating it all by myself! :)

      I peeled the mango with a potato peeler. It is hard to get the pit out of a mango. I cut around the pit and cubed it for the most part on the pit till the pit finally was free from the meat of the mango. I hope that makes sense.

      Anneliese gave a wonderful tutorial on peeling, pitting and chopping a mango a few years ago that you might find helpful. Check it out at http://foreverythingaseason.blogspot.com/2009/04/one-of-my-favorites.html

    It also helps 'sone' if the mango is 'sort of' on the ripe side when cutting out around the pit. I find also the mango has a much nicer favour when it's on the riper side. Just your own personal preference.
