Frequently Asked Questions
Because we have avocado in this recipe, it’s better to consume this salsa the same day. If you still have leftovers and need to refrigerate, I would suggest to add a bit more lime juice to it and mix. That will prevent the avocado from browning too fast. Transfer to an air-tight container and refrigerate overnight.
No. It’s better to use fresh and ripe fruit. If you use a frozen one, it will be too watery after defrosting.

Can you make it ahead without the avocado and add it before serving?
Hi Ellen! Yes, you can prep it a day before and refrigerate overnight. Just add avocado before ready to serve 😉
Hi,
This was really yum! I make brushetta with a tomatoe and avocado salsa and had no tomatoes. I was looking for salsa recipes and chose this one because I had all the ingredients except for the red pepper and used 1 mango instead of 2. It was delicious!!! This is now a favourite! Thank you for sharing. Thx Tia.
Thank you so much, Tia! I’m happy you liked it!
This salad looks super colorful and tasty. What a great dish to get in the mood for summer!
I just recently made a mango salsa myself, and the same day I also made guacamole. But I didn’t think about just adding avocado to the mango salsa. Great idea! I’ll have to try this.
Down there in the land of Tex-Mex, this is certainly a great thing to add. We have a favorite taco truck, and I added this salsa to our lunch. The cool mango and avocado was a great contrast to the spicy birria. Thank you!
I couldn’t resist the recipe knowing I had avocado and mango in the refrigerator. I made these last night…SO GOOD. Thank you!
Well since tacos is the national dish of Norway and Sweden (seriously!), I need to up my tacos game whenever I invite a Swede to my tacos nights. This goes straight to my recipe book, I never consider mango salsa but it looks so colourful and refreshing I’m sure it will win my guests’ hearts.
This is such a refreshing recipe and so perfect for this season. Love the flavors and well explained.
It’s Taco Tuesday! This Mango Avocado Salsa will be perfect. My family will surely love this.
I love a great fruit salsa…though I often find it difficult to find decent mangoes here in Canada. If I find some, this salsa is happening! I bet it would be wonderful with chicken or fish.
What a refreshing change from regular tomato salsa. This is great for dipping. I would use it to top grilled chicken, or as a topping in fish tacos.
