Mango Avocado Salsa from Scratch

June 26, 2019 by Allison Leave a Comment

The ultimate mango salsa

Easy and healthy mango avocado salsa that pairs well with just about everything, from tacos to baked tofu and everything in between!

The fruit ripening goddesses must have been smiling down on me last week, because I ended up with perfectly ripe avocados and mangoes at the same time.

I love both mangoes and avocados on their own (what’s not to love about these tropical gems?), but I knew there had to be some way to put them to good use in the same dish. I wracked my mind’s recipe rolodex for recipes already in existence for such a combination, but to no avail. Desperate to make use of them before they became overripe, I simply started to peel and chop them, hoping that inspiration would strike at just the right moment.

It did, thanks in large part to a mean craving for chips and salsa that struck at the exact moment that I peeled the first mango.

Inspiration is an elusive beast, so when it strikes, I run with it like nobody’s business.

This Mango Avocado Salsa is the perfect recipe for summer! Serve it at barbecues, picnics, baby and wedding showers, and other such events and watch it disappear before you can even say “fiesta!”

Now, this isn’t your typical jarred salsa. Given the freshness of the ingredients, it’s something that is not shelf stable, and only keeps in the fridge for a couple of days. We had no trouble finishing it long before it expired, mind you, and I don’t believe you will, either!

It pairs well with just about anything Mexican. Here is what I recommend serving it with:

-Chips
-Tacos
–Burritos
-Enchiladas
-Baked tofu
-Eggs, if you eat them
-Veggie burgers (it pairs particularly well with my Smoky Barbecue Black Bean Burgers!)
-Anything that is begging for that extra something something!

For this salsa, you will need the following:

-Ripe avocado
-Ripe mangoes
-Red bell pepper
-Red onion
-Cilantro
-Red pepper flakes
-Sea salt
-Lime juice

All that you do is chop all of the ingredients, dress them with lime juice, pepper flakes, and sea salt, and stir!

Now for the fun part: dipping!

I have some news for you! After 12 months of taking photos for the blog with an old iPhone 5, I have finally decided to purchase my very first DSLR camera! I still have a few weeks’ worth of recipes with photos taken with my iPhone, but I’m excited to deliver better quality visual content to you in the near future. I deeply appreciate your patience and readership as I have worked with a sub-standard camera for so many months! Thanks to you, I have the confidence and determination to take the next step with this blog!

I've been fighting a cold all week, and though I thought I had shot it down with my vitamin C, D, and echinacea on repeat, I think the cold just wants to run its course at this point. Sometimes you just gotta be sick! As much as I dislike being forced to slow down, it's a good opportunity for me to catch up on much neglected zzzzs and prime myself for the marathon training that'll be starting up soon! 
Being sick also gives me time to post more recipes 😂, so there's a new recipe up on the blog now for this festive kale, pomegranate, and roasted sweet potato salad! 🥗 Kale is about the only green that I use in my winter salads: it's hearty, holds up well, and it's packed with micronutrients like vitamin K and carotenoids that bolster our eyesight and immune systems! Anyways, the new recipe is up on the blog- upbeetkitchen.com. It's simple, but delicious, and can be gussied up in a number of ways. Enjoy! 🤗 I don't know about you, but I could really do with a big slice of my chocolate chunk cookie pie right about now. 🙃 Never mind that it's breakfast time. Actually, I'd wager that this dessert is actually healthier than your typical North American breakfast, so you could totally enjoy it as your morning meal if you felt so inclined. 😁 Made with a combination of light spelt and oat flour and sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, featuring a crispy exterior and a gooey center, it's a treat you can feel good about enjoying.
Of course it's best served warm with a scoop of @coconutbliss melting into it. 💃🏼 The recipe is on the blog now- upbeetkitchen.com or via the link in my bio.
Have an awesome day! 🍪 .

It doesn't necessarily need to mimic meat in flavour or texture, but it does need to have plenty of protein and flavour. To that end, my newest veggie burger recipe- these Tempeh, Quinoa, and Sweet Potato Burgers- is quite possibly my best one yet. A hearty base of tempeh, quinoa, and sweet potato is flavoured up with tamari, Dijon, barbecue sauce, herbs and spices, toasted sesame oil, and pecans. The resulting burger is packed with so much heft and protein that even my 👱🏼recipe tester (with one of the heartiest appetites I've ever witnessed, aside from my own 😆🤦🏼‍♀️) was satisfied! 
All the details and the recipe are now on the blog: upbeetkitchen.com! 
Happy noshing! 😋

Pumpkin seed butter is an excellent source of zinc, iron, and magnesium, as well as protein (especially the amino acid L-Arginine, which enhances blood flow and can improve athletic performance). Pumpkin seed butter is the star of the show in my latest recipe, pumpkin seed butter and pumpkin spice chocolate cups! If you're looking for a healthy no-bake snack/treat, look no further than these tasty morsels. The new recipe is on the blog now- upbeetkitchen.com, or via the link in my bio! 🎃 ✨ .
