Mango, Cucumber, and Avocado Salsa Toss chopped mango, cucumber, avocado, jalapeño, and red onion with lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
Don’t focus on color. It is not the best indicator of ripeness. Squeeze the mango gently. A ripe mango will give slightly.

The red color that appears on some varieties is not an indicator of ripeness. Always judge by feel.
