Mango Avocado Salsa

Fresh salsas are where it’s at!

Need a change from your traditional tomato salsa? How about a sweet & smooth avocado salsa? Imagine that a mango margarita & guac got together to create the ultimate chip topper – well here it is!

Salsa is by far one of my favorite condiments to add into any type of meal & this one is a new house favorite! Whether it’s for chip dipping or throwing over fish, nothing beats a good fruit salsa. One of my husbands favorite fruits are mangoes, so making a salsa to keep on hand & keep our meals fresh that included it was a no brainer for me.

Homemade salsas are a great way to add flavor, spice, freshness & extra nutrients into any dish you’re whipping up. I made this over the weekend and will probably use it all week long to break up our usual weeknight meal rotation.

This quick recipe doubles as your flavor factor & healthy fat with ripe avocado, bright lime juice & juicy mangoes. This salsa is…

quick
simple
nutrient dense
& only 7 ingredients.

So if you need a new salsa swap for your Taco Tuesday or just a fresh, delish afternoon snack — you’re going to want to save this one!
