It’s a party in your mouth.

This recipe is perfect for warm weather. It can easily be made indoors on the stovetop using a skillet or grill pan, or you can take it outside and cook it on the grill to add another layer of smoky flavor. The mango avocado salsa is delicious enough to eat it on its own. This could easily be served up with a side salad or on a bed of rice.
