Zesty Mango and Avocado Salsa

This salsa is so good, you'll want to eat it by the spoonful. The sweet mango and creamy avocado are a perfect match, and the red onion, cilantro, and lime juice add just the right amount of zest and brightness. This salsa is perfect for chips, tacos, or grilled fish.

I first had this salsa at a Mexican restaurant in Austin, Texas. I was so impressed by the flavor that I asked the chef for the recipe. He was kind enough to share it with me, and I've been making it ever since. I've tweaked the recipe over the years, but the basic ingredients and proportions have remained the same. This salsa is now one of my favorite recipes, and I make it all the time. It's always a hit with my friends and family.
