Megan KerryAvocado Mango Salsa
I love this salsa-it just screams summer! But, that’s not the only time of year I eat it! With the sweet flavour of the mango coming together with the creamy texture of the avocado, I just can’t resist making this salsa year round!
Why Make My Avocado Mango Salsa?
This Avocado Mango Salsa is a whole-foods, plant-based recipe that has a TON of vitamins and nutrients to feed your body well! It comes together in a flash and is so versatile you can use it as a topping, a dip or a filling!
I pair it with my Tofu Taco Meat to make an amazing, all veg burrito.
Avocado Mango Salsa
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe avocado-it should be soft when you squeeze it gently
- 1/2 of a ripe mango-you could use ataulfo or red mangos
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- red chili flakes to taste
- fresh herbs such as green onion and/or cilantro
Instructions
The Nitty-Gritty
-
Open your avocado and pit it using the large knife. Softly tap the avocado seed with the blade of the knife (please be careful!) and twist to remove the pit.
-
Scrape the avocado into the bowl and mash with a fork. I like to whip mine up pretty smooth.
-
add in your salt, onion powder and chili flakes. Taste and adjust.
-
Cut your mango along the pit so you have two equal halves. Take one half and create a grid pattern with your knife.
-
Now cut the mango sections off into your bowl of mashed avocado.
-
Add in your fresh herbs. I used green onion, but if you are a fan of cilantro this would be the perfect opportunity to include it into a dish.
I usually use this avocado mango salsa as a dressing for burritos.
It pairs nicely with my cashew sour cream, but a word of caution-this would not taste good along side a tomato based, store bought salsa. If you were to make a pico de gallo I think that would work well.
It would also be a great addition to a tex-mex style salad or make a nice dip for taco chips.
Let me know how this one turned out for you and any additions or adjustments you made. I would love to hear all about it!
