Can I make mango-avocado salsa ahead?

Nope—this salsa shines when fresh! Avocado browns quickly, and mango gets mushy. If you must prep early, store diced ingredients separately and mix just before serving (with extra lime juice to keep things bright).

How do I pick ripe mango and avocado?

Give them a gentle squeeze—they should yield slightly like a ripe peach. For mangoes, sniff near the stem: sweet fragrance = ready. Avoid rock-hard avocados or mangoes with wrinkly skin (they're past their prime).

What can I use instead of cilantro?

Flat-leaf parsley gives a fresh herbal note without cilantro's polarizing flavor. Or try basil for a sweeter twist! (My cilantro-hating sister swears by mint—weird but surprisingly good with mango!)
