Mango Avocado Salsa

There are few things I love more than this salsa. It is absolutely bursting with flavor and stands out on any table with its vibrant colors. It makes me think of the Skittles tagline, "Taste the rainbow." This is nature's rainbow in terms of flavor for sure! I get more requests for this recipe than just about anything else. Believe me, it's worth the effort of using fresh ingredients. Do not try and use canned diced tomatoes as a short cut. The result is tragic. Next time you're having a get together and you think chips and salsa is a good idea, make sure this is the salsa you use! I also love this salsa for my salads. There is enough juice from the fruits that any sort of additional dressing is just not necessary.
