This gorgeous Cucumber Mango Salsa is light and fruity. Its refreshing flavors are absolutely delicious with tortilla chips, crackers and cheeses. Enjoy it with grilled fish and with fish or chicken tacos, too. The ingredients are as fresh and clean as the flavors, so you don't even have to feel guilty when you eat the whole bowl.
