Notes
- How to dice mangoes: First, slice off each end of the mango. Cut it in half lengthwise, then slice the flesh on each half crosswise, being careful not to cut through the peel, to get a checkerboard pattern. Gently peel back the skin and push the mango cubes to release them from the peel.
- Hold the avocado: If you don’t plan on serving the salsa right away, hold off on adding the avocado until it’s time to eat. Avocados can turn brown quickly and while it doesn’t affect their flavor, you don’t want brownish avocado chunks in your salsa!
- Slice everything uniformly: Consistently sliced fruits and veggies help you get a little bit of everything in each bite and will help with flavor distribution.
