Creamy Avocado and Mango Salsa

This creamy avocado and mango salsa is the perfect summery side dish. It's made with fresh avocados, mangoes, red onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. The avocado adds creaminess, while the mango adds sweetness and a touch of acidity. The red onions add a bit of sharpness, and the tomatoes add freshness. The cilantro adds a touch of brightness, and the lime juice brightens up the flavors. The salt and black pepper add depth and balance. This salsa is perfect for serving with chips, tacos, or burritos. It's also great for adding to salads or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.

I first had this salsa at a Mexican restaurant in New York City. I was immediately hooked on its creamy texture and bright flavors. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I love to serve it with chips and guacamole, or as a topping for tacos or burritos. It's also great for adding to salads or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
