Avocado, Tomato, and Mango Salsa

Mexican is probably one of my favorite food styles.  This salsa takes a bit of effort with all the chopping involved but it's delicious and worth it.  Sweet, salty, and spicy - it will tantilize your taste buds!  It's great not only with tortilla chips but also to serve over fish or chicken.  I made it without the avocado this time because I am making it in advance and didn't want it to brown.  I also left out the cilantro because for some reason, I can never find cilantro at our (ghetto) Kroger.
