Notes
You can prepare this salsa a few hours ahead of time. However, it’s best to add the avocado just before serving to prevent it from browning. If you need to store it longer, add extra lime juice and cover it tightly with plastic wrap to minimize air contact.
If you’re not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute it with fresh parsley or simply omit it.
If you like your salsa spicy, you can add more jalapeño or use something spicier like habanero or serrano peppers. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce.
Feel free to customize your salsa by adding ingredients like diced red bell peppers, corn, black beans, or even pineapple for additional flavors and textures.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within a day or two, as the avocado will start to brown and the texture may become mushy.
You can use frozen mango if fresh mango is not available, just make sure to thaw and drain it well before adding it to the salsa to prevent excess moisture.
