When you think of summertime do salsas come to mind? They should.  Especially this vegan and paleo-friendly mango avocado salsa. It offers a fresh take on a classic recipe but with citrusy overtones and a fruitiness that lends itself well with many grilled meats, including chicken, beef, pork and seafood.

You’ll love this salsa because it’s so quick and easy to make. It only takes about 10 minutes gather all of the ingredients together and to assemble in a large bowl. Best of all you can serve it immediately or keep it chilled until you need it.

Here’s how to make it:

Start by using semi-soft avocados. Slice around the pit to halve. Twist and scoop out the pit. At this point you can score the avocado flesh and spoon it out or pull the peel off the avocado and slice it into chunks. Either way is fine.

Next add fresh mango. Cut into small chunks.

Cooking Tip: If you don’t have a mango slicer, you can always use a chef knife and slice on either side of the mango seed.

Next, chop one red onion (one cup) into small chunks. Add this to the salsa.

Then, finish the mango avocado salsa by adding one chopped heirloom tomato, a jalapeño pepper (be sure to remove rib and seeds, unless you like it hot, hot hot), a pinch of salt and the juice from one lime. Stir well.

Serve the salsa as a topping to your favorite taco recipe or with chips for a delicious summer appetizer.
