Ingredients

1 ½ cups diced mango
½ cup diced red onion
½ cup red bell pepper
2 teaspoons finely minced habanero pepper or more to taste, divided
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
⅛ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 medium avocado, diced

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the mango, red onion, red bell pepper, about 1 teaspoon of the habanero pepper, the cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir to combine.
Add a pinch of salt and taste the salsa. Add extra salt to taste, and the remainder of the habanero pepper if you like more heat. Stir to combine.
Stir in the avocado just before serving.

Notes

To make this salsa ahead of time, add all of the ingredients except for the salt and avocado. Season with salt and add avocado just before serving.

Make sure you wear gloves when mincing habanero peppers. OR be very careful to not touch your eyes or face after handling the cut peppers if you don't.
