Mango Guacamole
This holiday weekend was spent barely leaving the couch and binging on season 2 of Orange is the New Black and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We thought about going to fireworks at the last minute and attempted to find a place to park and watch, but there was still so many people, we went right back home, sat back on the couch and ate strawberries and cream pie. It was a good day. Sometimes it’s okay to be completely useless.
In the summer, I think I make guacamole twice a week. My husband and I eat guacamole very differently. He just dips the chip in and right back out without scooping out guacamole. The chip barely has any on it. What is that about? He is missing all of the good stuff. I am the exact opposite. I scoop out an embarrassing amount on each chip. But, this is why we are perfect for each other.
Whether it’s for chip dipping or sandwich toppings, I can never get enough guacamole! I also can’t get enough fruit. Berries, watermelon, and mango. Lots of mango. And mango and guacamole are pretty much a match made in heaven. It adds texture and sweetness, but it doesn’t overpower the guacamole. I don’t even need the chips, just hand me a spoon! It’s the perfect summer twist!
Mango Guacamole
Mango Guacamole - Delicous and simple guacamole loaded with fresh mango for a fun summer twist! Great for dippng with chips or alongside chicken or fish!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocadoes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro
- 3 teaspoons minced jalapeño pepper (remove seeds)
- 1 large lime, juiced (or up to two small limes)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (I like to add nore to mine)
- 1 1/2 cups diced mango
Instructions
- Slice each avocado in half. Remove the pit. With a knife, score each half of the avocados about 3-4 times lengthwise and then again 3-4 times widthwise. Take a spoon and scoop out the avocado into a bowl, it should come out in cubes.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients into the avocados. If you want a chunkier guacamole, fold in gently to avoid overly mashing the avocados. Stick the guac in the fridge for about 30 minutes and serve!

I just want to jump inside my computer and scoop this up!
Love the addition of mango! A bowl of this would be devoured in no time at my house!
Mango in guacamole sounds fantastic!! I love the idea. I also enjoy a high guacamole to chip ratio. The more guac the better for me!!!
I can never get enough guacamole! And I love it with mango – yum!
haha I’m so jealous that you spent that time on the couch – I’m hoping I can make that happen this weekend!
Mangoes and avocado.. um yes please! Pass the chips!
LOL, your hubby dips exactly like mine…and I practically need a spoon to shovel as much as I can onto each chip! I love your addition of mango! Scrumptious!
I’m with you in the loading of the chip! Guacamole just got even better…I need to try this.
I completely agree on these two fruits in tandem! I’m glad you added jalapeño for some zing and lime for some zest! Zeelicious!
