Ingredients
  

1 ripe mango, diced into small cubes

1 ripe avocado, diced into small cubes

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1-2 serrano peppers, finely minced (adjust based on your heat preference)

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Juice of 2 limes (about ¼ cup)

Zest of 1 lime

Sea salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by rinsing all your fruits and vegetables thoroughly under cold water. Carefully dice the mango and avocado into small, uniform pieces to ensure even mixing. Finely chop the red onion and red bell pepper, and mince the serrano peppers; you can remove the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor.

    Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, gently combine the diced mango, avocado, chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, and minced serrano peppers. Use a spatula or large spoon to avoid bruising the avocado.

      Flavor it Up: To the mixture, add the chopped cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If you desire a hint of sweetness, drizzle in the optional honey and mix lightly.

        Gently Combine: With a soft touch, fold the ingredients together using a spatula to preserve the structure of the avocado and mango. Ensure the mixture is well combined but take care not to overmix to prevent mashing.

          Taste and Adjust: Take a small sample of your salsa and adjust the flavors as needed. You can add more lime juice, salt, or a touch of honey if you would like to enhance the overall balance.

            Chill and Serve: For optimal flavor development, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15-30 minutes. This chilling period allows the ingredients to marinate and flavors to meld beautifully.

              Garnish (Optional): To elevate the presentation just before serving, you can sprinkle a little extra chopped cilantro on top or add a lime wedge to the side of your serving bowl.
