Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 cup strawberries, hulled and diced
1 large mango, peeled and diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
I dice the avocados, strawberries, and mango into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
I add the chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro.
I squeeze the fresh lime juice over the mixture and season everything with salt and black pepper.
I gently toss the salsa with a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
I let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the flavors blend together beautifully.
I serve it fresh with tortilla chips, grilled meats, tacos, or salads.
Servings and timing
Servings: 4 to 6 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 10 minutes

Variations
I sometimes add diced cucumber for extra crunch and freshness. When I want a sweeter flavor, I mix in a little pineapple or extra mango. For more heat, I leave some jalapeño seeds in the salsa or add a pinch of chili flakes. I also enjoy adding crumbled feta cheese for a creamy and salty twist.
storage/reheating
I store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To help keep the avocado fresh and green, I press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container. I do not recommend reheating this salsa because it tastes best cold and fresh.
FAQs
Can I make this salsa ahead of time?
I like preparing the fruit and vegetables ahead of time, but I usually add the avocado right before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
What can I serve with this salsa?
I enjoy serving it with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled chicken, shrimp, or even spooned over salmon.
How do I keep the avocado from browning?
I use plenty of fresh lime juice and store the salsa tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Can I use frozen mango or strawberries?
I prefer fresh fruit for the best texture, but thawed frozen fruit can work if I drain away extra liquid first.
Is this salsa spicy?
I find it mildly spicy with one jalapeño, but I can easily adjust the heat level by adding more or less pepper.
