"Mango-Avocado Salsa"

from Epicurious.com

1 ripe mango, diced

1 tomato, diced

2 green onions, finely sliced

1/4 c. lime juice (about 2 1/2 limes)

1 jalapeno, mince

1 avocado, peeled, seeded, diced

• Combine first 5 ingredients in bowl. (Can be made 3 hours ahead; refrigerate.) 
• Closer to serving time, stir in diced avocado and season to taste with salt and pepper. *Salt is not Paleo, so if you choose to use it here, be conservative.
• Add to chicken, steak or fish - The salsa has enough flavor on its own, and would probably pair up better with something with little or no seasoning on it.
