Cinco de Mayo Guacamole Mango (Print Version)

Creamy avocado with mango and jalapeño creates a fresh, flavorful dip ideal for parties or snacks.

# What You'll Need:

→ Produce

01 - 3 ripe avocados
02 - 1 small ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
03 - 1 small red onion, finely diced
04 - 1 to 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
05 - 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
06 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
07 - Juice of 1 lime

→ Seasoning

08 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Halve the avocados lengthwise, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
02 - Add lime juice and mash avocados using a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency, leaving some texture or making it completely smooth based on preference.
03 - Gently fold in diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, tomato, and cilantro until evenly distributed throughout.
04 - Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then taste and adjust lime juice, salt, or jalapeño intensity as needed.
05 - Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for tacos. Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and chill until ready to serve.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you'd think, which means you can literally make this while guests are arriving.
  • The mango creates this unexpected sweetness that makes people ask what's different about your guacamole—and you get to be the hero.
  • No cooking required means less mess and more time enjoying the party instead of being trapped in the kitchen.
02 -
  • The lime juice is non-negotiable if you want to avoid that oxidized brown layer—it's chemistry, not optional seasoning.
  • Don't add the tomato until just before serving if you're making this ahead, because it'll release water and make everything soggy over time.
03 -
  • If you want to go slightly fancy, a tiny pinch of cumin adds an earthy depth that makes people wonder what your secret is.
  • Pineapple works surprisingly well as a mango substitute if you're in a tropical mood, creating an even sweeter, tangier version that feels like vacation in a bowl.
