SAMPLE RECIPE: AVOCADO, MANGO, AND PINEAPPLE SALSA

2. Stir in the mango, pineapple, jalapeño, and cilantro, stirring until fully combined.
3. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
VARIATION TIP: For a mild salsa, remove the seeds and the ribs from the jalapeño before mincing it.

- 3/4 Cup Diced Mango
