Summertime is here and grilling season is on. Living in California, we have an abundance of avocados at our fingertips and I’m such a huge fan. Not only do avocados taste delicious, they are extremely nutritious as well. Avocados provide you with a fabulous source of fiber and vitamins E & C – super great for glowing skin and antioxidants. The mango salsa also has a bunch of anti-aging properties, too, to keep your health strong. Enjoy the outdoors this season with your barbecue. Grilling the avocado, mango, jalapeno, and red onion provide extra flavor and sweetness to this easy-to-make gourmet dish. You’ll wow your guests and your taste buds with the Grilled Avocado Stuffed with Grilled Mango Salsa recipe.

  • 2 Tbsp lime juice (divided)
  • ¼ cup cilantro
