Avocado Salsa

This avocado salsa recipe is fresh, flavorful, and SO easy to make! Serve it with tortilla chips for a zesty summer appetizer, or add it to tacos and more.

This avocado salsa recipe is kinda like a mashup of two of my favorite things: mango salsa and guac. So naturally, I’m obsessed with it. It’s a super simple recipe – you can make it in all of 10 minutes! – but it still packs in a ton of contrasting textures and flavors. Creamy avocado plays off sweet, juicy mango, which in turn accents spicy chiles, crisp red onion, and cilantro. A big squeeze of lime juice adds the perfect zesty pop.

I love to serve it as a fun, fresh appetizer with tortilla chips, but this avocado salsa is great in other ways, too. You can stuff it into tacos or spoon it over nachos. I even like it on top of a black bean burger! Easy, versatile, and delicious, it’s a recipe you’ll want on repeat all summer long.

Avocado Salsa Recipe Ingredients

You need 8 simple ingredients to make this avocado salsa recipe:

• Avocado, of course! Look for ones that are ripe, but still a little bit firm so that they hold their shape when you mix them with the other ingredients.
• Mango – I especially love Ataulfo mangoes here, but any variety will do.
• Fresh cilantro – It adds pretty green flecks and bold, fresh flavor.
• Red onion – It gives the salsa a subtle bite and adds crunch.
• A jalapeño or serrano pepper – For heat.
• Ground cumin – For earthy flavor.
• Lime juice – Freshly squeezed, please! It makes the salsa taste SO zesty and bright.
• And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!

Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl, and stir to combine. Season to taste, and serve. It’s that easy! I love that you don’t need a blender or food processor to make this one.

Avocado Salsa Serving Suggestions

• Spoon it into my vegan jackfruit tacos, sweet potato tacos, or roasted veggie tacos.
• Sprinkle it over these AMAZING vegan nachos.
• Add a scoop to a taco salad.
• Top it onto a veggie burger or black bean burger with a few pickled red onions. If you love spicy food, add some creamy chipotle sauce, too!

• Or serve it over grilled tofu with cilantro lime rice and fajita veggies.
