Notes

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.
