Origin and Significance
Mango and avocado have long been staples in tropical and Asian cuisines. The Thai influence comes from the use of chilli, lime, and cilantro—flavours known for their bold and harmonious balance. This salsa is more than a recipe; it’s a cultural fusion, blending the sweetness of mango with the fiery undertones of Thai chillies, making it a perfect example of how diverse flavours can come together in harmony.

✅ Add texture – Toss in diced cucumber or red bell pepper for a refreshing crunch.
✅ Serve chilled – Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving to enhance flavour.
