Carefully add the finely chopped habanero chili. Adjust the quantity for your preferred level of spiciness.
4. Finish with Cilantro and Seasoning
Sprinkle the cilantro over the mixture and season with salt. Toss gently to combine all the flavors evenly.

Why This Recipe Fits a Healthy Lifestyle
This salsa aligns perfectly with gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based diets. It’s also an excellent option for keto-friendly and low-carb recipes with a slight modification. To keep it keto-focused, reduce the mango quantity and increase the avocado content for added healthy fats and fewer carbs. The inclusion of habanero chili may even aid in digestion and gut health due to its capsaicin content.
