How to Make Mango Avocado Salsa Recipe

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.
