Mango guacamole

Mango Guacamole

A simple way to elevate simple guacamole to something special.

Course Appetizer
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • A Generous Handful of Fresh Cilantro chopped (about 2 -3 Tbsp)
  • 1 Jalapeño Pepper seeds and ribs removed for less heat - if desired
  • 2 Ripe Avocado large dice
  • 1 Ripe Mango diced
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Coarse Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop the cilantro. Place in a bowl.
  2. Very finely dice the jalapeño - with or without the seeds and ribs, depending on heat preference (I like to leave most in). Add to bowl.
  3. Chop up avocado and add to the bowl.
  4. Slice the lime in half and immediately squeeze half over the freshly cut avocado, to prevent it from turning brown.
  5. Add the coarse salt and pepper.
  6. Use a fork to roughly mash up the ingredients together, leaving it as chunky as you desire. I usually aim to mash half and leave half in rough pieces, but mixed well.
  7. Dice the mango into small pieces.
  8. Add to the bowl and squeeze in remaining half a limes juice.
  9. Stir to combine.
  10. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Especially the salt and pepper.
  11. If not serving immediately, place an avocado pit on the surface and cover with plastic wrap placed on top of the surface of the guacamole directly and store in the fridge up to 4 hours.

Recipe Notes

This guacamole is terrific served immediately or allowed to rest for an hour and let flavours develop further.
Remove the avocado pit and plastic wrap and place in a nice bowl to serve.
