Mango Avocado Salsa

As I continue to pretend I am on official spring break here in Maui, I am leaning into the fresh ingredients I can find on the island and pretending summer is almost here. Though it is decidedly not anywhere near summer back on the mainland. I’ll keep it simple this week with a light, fresh,…
