Shrimp. Mango. Avocado Salad

"The most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking: LOVE, for those you are cooking for"
Sophia Loren

I was introduced to this deliciously refreshing and very satisfying (not to mention nutritious!)  dish by one of my dearest friends one evening visiting her home. We got hungry. She fed us : ) One of my favorite things is cooking with friends and family. There's nothing quite like spending quality time together chatting it up, laughing, chopping sautéing. . .  making a meal together with lots of love! Maybe thats why those often taste the best. As it did that day. . . Great food, Even better company!
