African-style Mango and Avocado Salsa

This African-style Mango Avocado Salsa is the perfect vegetarian side dish and promises a burst of sense-awakening tropical flavours, and a mix of exotic textures.

If you are a regular reader, then you already know about my love affair with Avocado.  And you probably do not need yet another avocado recipe But one can’t have too much of a good thing right?

I call this dish my African-style mango avocado salsa because this is one sure way to experience tropical Africa on your palate. You know how feta cheese plus olives gives a dish a characteristic greek signature. Well, this is how I feel about mangoes and avocados (personal opinion not fact!). Not only can I swear that I was weaned on mangoes and avocados, but these two fruits are also immensely prolific across Africa.

This salsa is incredibly easy to make – just chop, mix and serve.  As an added bonus, it’s healthy, low in calories, and low in sugar. The perfect addition to a diabetic diet. Incredibly versatile, you can also serve this salsa as a sandwich filler or in a wrap.

So let’s wrap this up and get on to the recipe…
