Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangos, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust for heat preference)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by carefully peeling and dicing the ripe mangos and avocado. Ensure that the pieces are uniform for a balanced texture. Chop the red onion, jalapeño, and red bell pepper into small pieces.

    Mix Ingredients in a Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and red bell pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together to avoid mashing the avocado.

      Add Freshness: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the mixture. Then, squeeze in the fresh lime juice and add the zest of one lime. This will add a zesty flavor and brightness to the salsa.

        Season to Taste: Add salt and black pepper according to your personal taste preferences. Start with a pinch of each and adjust as necessary.

          Chill and Serve: For the best flavors, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

            Enjoy with Your Favorites: Serve this zesty mango avocado salsa on tortilla chips, grilled fish, chicken tacos, or enjoy it as a refreshing salad on its own!
