Instructions

Soften the Onion: Place the minced red onion in a medium bowl and add the lime juice. Toss well to coat the onion evenly with the lime juice, then let it sit for 5 minutes. This helps soften the onion’s bite and enhances the salsa’s overall flavor.
Add Avocados: Gently fold in the cubed avocados, coating them with the lime-infused onion mixture. This ensures the avocado absorbs some zing and also prevents it from browning quickly.
Combine Remaining Ingredients: Add the cubed mango, minced serrano pepper, cilantro, mint, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt to the bowl. Gently toss everything together to combine, being careful not to mash the avocados.
Adjust Seasonings and Serve: Taste the salsa and add more salt or lime juice if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a fresh topping for grilled dishes.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain good texture.
If you prefer less heat, substitute serrano pepper with jalapeño or omit altogether.
For extra freshness, chill the salsa for 15-20 minutes before serving.
This salsa is best enjoyed the day it’s made to prevent avocado browning.
Try pairing this salsa with grilled chicken, fish, or as a topping for tacos.
