AVOCADO MANGO SALSA BOATS!

Here's a yummy and fresh tasting salsa that is super quick and easy to make.  Something about Mango and Avocado paired together is just delicious!  No special equipment needed!  Now if you don't like mango, or to change it up, use fresh pineapple!  Here's what you need....


Ingredients:

1 mango, peeled, diced
2 roma tomatoes, diced
2 large avocado, or 4 small, diced (If it's just you, do 1 large/2 small)
1/2 cucumber, diced
2 TBSP red onion, minced
1 TBSP fresh cilantro, minced
1/2 lime/lemon, squeezed
Dash of cayenne OR 1/4 tsp jalapeno, diced *optional
Dash of sea salt

1. Cut up all your ingredients!  Here's a quick pic of how to dice an avocado...

 Slice it lengthwise first.

 Slice it crosswise - Careful not to cut through the skin.

 Now scoop it out with a spoon!

Make sure you keep your avocado 'shells'... we will be using those!

Here's a pic to help you dice your mango.  

Now take a knife and carefully cut the cubes off the skin.

Now you are going to place everything in a large bowl.  Squeeze in your lime...

Now toss to combine!  You don't want to stir it because you'll smush your avocado.

Scoop out portions into your avocado 'shells'!  Make it awesome with a cilantro garnish...

YUMMY, BEAUTIFUL & HEALTHY!  ENJOY!

*Notes:  If you want step by step pictures and instructions on how to cut an avocado, mango, or pineapple, look at my 'How Do You Cut That?!' blog.  I hope it helps!

*If you are using pineapple instead, replace your Mango with a cup of fresh Pineapple.

*Also, to experience the full deliciousness of this dish, make sure your avocados and mangoes are ripe!  They will be soft (not too soft) to the touch.  Your pineapple is ripe when you can easily pull a center leaf off the fruit.  Remember to flip the pineapple upside down for 45 mins to let the sugars run back through the fruit!  (Those helpful hints are also in my 'How Do I Cut That?!' blog!!!)
