Sneha's Recipe: Salsa

This mango avocado salsa is an amazing Costa Rican recipe, it's sweet, hot, and tangy! Great with chips for a summer appetizer or a side for grilled pork, chicken, or fish or use this to make tacos or wraps.

This recipe is a favorite, super simple to make, healthy, fresh, and fun, perfect for a relaxing day or for a pool party and everyone like it. The combination of tomato, avocado, and mangoes, makes is recipe simple perfect. Do not use too ripe mangoes; the best result is when using a semi ripped (yellow) mango.

Serves 4
Ingredients

¼ Cup Chopped Coriander leaves - divided
1 Tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
½ Teaspoon salt - divided
1 Large Mango - peeled and diced
1 Medium Avocado - diced
2 Medium Tomato - diced
1 Medium Onion - chopped
1 Green Chilly - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
2 Cloves Garlic - minced

Method

Combine half of chopped coriander leaves cilantro & salt with the garlic, mango, avocado, tomato, onion, green chilly and lime juice in a bowl. Make sure you don't overmix, since we are using avocado, if you mix it too much you could smash it and change the look of the salsa.

Garnish with salsa with reserved chopped coriander leaves & sprinkle of salt before serving. This Costa Rican salsa is indeed a delightful and refreshing treat in summer. My favorite way to eat this salsa is with corn tortilla chips, but it is also great with tacos or wraps!
