Helpful Tips:
- Let the salad rest for 10 minutes allowing the flavors to come together.
- Chop the creamy avocado, bell pepper, and sweet mango into bite-size pieces. This will balance the flavors.
- Finely chop the cilantro and green onions. Their sharper flavors will complement the avocado mango salad.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a snack or next-day lunch—it is good for up to two or three days. The lime or lemon juice will keep the avocados from browning.
