Mango Avocado Salsa
I have confessed my love of avocado many many times. I freaking love those things. I believe that avocado is one of those foods you can add to almost anything and it’ll taste better. I love using avocado to add creaminess to salads.
Obviously one of the best ways to enjoy avocado is on top of a tortilla chip. The mango in this salsa provides a nice sweetness to balance out the red onion. I made a double batch of this Mango Salsa when we had some friends over and this was the first dish to get devoured. It’s amazing.

Recipe from Pennies on a Platter
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Very cool (pun intended)! I’ll have to bookmark this recipe in case I have some friends who can’t consume dairy.

Coconut milk is definitely my friend when it comes to dairy free ice cream!
ooh, i have never made a plain vanilla, but i do love a good quality vanilla bean 🙂 especially with coconut milk!!
I love vanilla ice cream that’s so vanilla-y that it has the little flecks in it 🙂 Heavenly!
How convienent that I just paid $6 for a tiny container of dairy free ice cream and wanted to find a cheaper homemade version. Thanks for sharing this gem.

Dairy free ice cream is definitely expensive and making it at home yields such great results! I don’t think I’ll ever go back to store bought ice cream again.
