Mango and Avocado Salsa / Dip

Sweet, tangy, spicy and deliciously creamy, I made this salsa / dip on a terribly humid summer day. I served it with tortilla chips for a mid-afternoon snack.

Get sweet ripe mangoes to give this salsa / dip just the right amount of sweetness. And make sure that your avocado is at that perfect stage of ripeness to provide a creamy texture.
