MANGO, AVOCADO, AND CUCUMBER SALSA

Mango, Avocado, and Cucumber Salsa image

There are so many layers of flavor from the sweetness of the mango to the heat from the chili peppers, we couldn't get enough of it. This would be amazing on top of some grilled chicken, pork, or fish. It would be just as good with some tortilla chips. Light, refreshing, and delicious!

Tips:

Choose ripe fruits and vegetables: Use ripe mangoes and cucumbers for the best flavor. Overripe fruits may be too mushy and lack flavor.
Chop the ingredients evenly: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the salsa and make it easier to eat.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and mint add a bright, refreshing flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
Adjust the spice level to your liking: If you like spicy salsa, add more jalapeño or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder salsa, omit the peppers or use less of them.
Make the salsa ahead of time: The flavors in the salsa will meld together and develop over time, so it's best to make it at least an hour before serving. You can also make it a day or two ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Cucumber mango salsa is a refreshing, flavorful salsa that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with or without cilantro, this salsa is sure to be a hit.
