¼ cup diced red onion

½ cup diced avocado

To make the salsa, place the mango cubes, onion, and avocado in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Pour over mango mixture. Stir well and store in air tight container as sandwich topper for week.

Make medium bowl of mixed greens salad: lettuce, tomato, cucumber etc. Store in air tight container for the week.
