Ingredients
  

1 ripe mango, diced into small cubes

1 ripe avocado, diced into small cubes

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust according to your spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped coarsely

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Zest of 1 fresh lime

Sea salt to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by peeling the ripe mango and avocado. Dice them into small, even cubes to ensure uniform mixing. Finely chop the red onion and carefully mince the jalapeño, adjusting the amount based on your desired spice level.

    Combine in a Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the diced mango, avocado, chopped red onion, and minced jalapeño. Take care not to mash the avocado during this process.

      Add Freshness: Generously sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the combined ingredients, adding a burst of freshness and flavor.

        Dress the Salsa: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, then add the lime zest to enhance tangy notes and aroma.

          Season: With a spatula, gently fold the salsa to combine all the ingredients without compromising the integrity of the avocado. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your preference.

            Serve: Allow the salsa to rest for about 10 minutes to let the flavors develop and meld together. Serve it alongside crispy tortilla chips, atop soft tacos, or as a zesty topping for grilled chicken or fish for a delightful treat.
