FAQs: Mango Guacamole

What is Mango Guacamole?
Mango Guacamole is a tropical twist on the classic Mexican avocado dip. It combines the creamy richness of ripe avocados with the sweet, juicy brightness of fresh mangoes. The addition of lime juice, red onion, chili, and cilantro rounds out the flavors, creating a refreshing and vibrant dip that works well as an appetizer, taco topping, or summer party snack.

What kind of mango works best?
Fresh, ripe mangoes that are sweet but still firm (such as Ataulfo or Kent mangoes) are ideal. You want mango cubes that hold their shape and don’t get mushy when mixed into the guacamole.

Can I make it spicy?
Yes! Add minced jalapeño or red chili flakes to increase the heat level. Deseed the chilies if you prefer milder spice. The spice balances beautifully with the sweetness of the mango and the richness of the avocado.

How long does Mango Guacamole last?
Like traditional guacamole, it’s best enjoyed fresh, ideally within a few hours. The lime juice slows the oxidation of the avocado, but after a day, it may start to brown. If storing, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate in an airtight container.

Is it healthy?
Absolutely. Avocados are a source of heart-healthy fats, while mangoes offer vitamin C and antioxidants. It’s a nutritious dip when served with veggie sticks or whole-grain crackers.
