Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing all the fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Dice the avocados, strawberries, and mango into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño, if using.

Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, strawberries, and mango. Be careful not to mash the avocados; you want them to maintain their shape.

Add the Aromatics: Add the chopped red onion and minced jalapeño to the bowl. If you prefer a milder salsa, you can skip the jalapeño or reduce the amount.

Add Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the mixture. The cilantro adds a fresh flavor that complements the fruits.

Season the Salsa: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all ingredients are well-seasoned.

Mix Gently: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until evenly mixed. Be careful not to mash the avocados.

Chill (Optional): For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Serve: Once chilled, give the salsa a gentle stir and taste for seasoning. Adjust if necessary, then serve immediately or keep it in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
