Mango-Avocado Salsa (perfect for fish or shrimp tacos)
This is a wonderfully healthy and delicious seasonal topping for grilled fish or seafood tacos and you can use whatever fresh fruit is in season: mangos, papaya, kiwi, peaches, nectarines, etc. The recipe was given to me by an oncology nurse who has witnessed the healing powers of good nutrition. The bonus is that it also tastes amazing and is wonderful over grilled fish or shrimp or served with fish and shrimp tacos. It seems to lend itself to Mexican seafood dishes so well because of the tropical nature of the fruit and the avocados! It’s fabulous for warm summer evenings!
