Mango Guacamole

This fruit and vegetable-packed Mango Guacamole is the perfect appetizer or accompaniment to your summer get-together. It comes together quickly with no cooking needed. The mango adds a bit of tropical sweetness to the creamy avocado. Tomatoes, jalapeños, bell peppers, lime, red onion, garlic, and cilantro are also included for even more flavor.

I only added 1 jalapeño to keep the spice level low for the family. If you want more kick, bump it up to 2 jalapeños.

If you have any guacamole leftover, transfer it to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Press the plastic down until it is touching the top of the guacamole completely. This will help keep the top layer from browning.
