Ingredients
  

1 ripe mango, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 small jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust for heat preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the mango and avocado into small, bite-sized pieces. Ensure the mango is sweet and ripe for the best flavor.

    Combine the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, gently combine the diced mango and avocado. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much to maintain its texture.

      Add the Aromatics: Add the finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro to the bowl. The onion will provide crunch, while the jalapeño adds a kick of spice.

        Dress It Up: Squeeze the juice of the limes over the mixture, and add the lime zest for an extra zesty punch. This will not only enhance the flavor but also help prevent the avocado from browning.

          Season: Gently mix everything together, taking care not to squish the avocado. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary, depending on your preference.

            Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, over grilled chicken, or as a fresh topping for tacos.
