- Edamame
- Strawberries
- Avocado
- Red onion

- Basil

2. Make the Lime Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together:

- Lime juice

This dressing is flexible—like your favorite leggings after a long day.
3. Combine Everything
Pour the dressing over your salsa mixture.
Gently stir until everything is coated and glossy. You’ll start to see those colors pop even more—and yes, it’s as satisfying as it sounds.

- A spoon (because let’s be honest)
One bite turns into five. You’ve been warned.
Chef Omar’s Pro Tips (Because I’ve Made This A Lot)
- Pick ripe mangoes – Slightly soft with a sweet aroma = perfect flavor.
- Dice evenly – Small, uniform pieces make every bite balanced and scoopable.
- Add avocado last – Keeps it from getting mushy.
- Control the heat – Remove all jalapeño seeds for mild salsa, or leave a few in for a kick.
- Chill before serving – 20–30 minutes in the fridge lets the flavors mingle beautifully.
And if your salsa looks too good to share? That’s not a problem—that’s a strategy.
