Tilapia with Fresh Pineapple and Mango Salsa
Mealthy Tip: Look for avocados and mangoes that are firm with just a little bit of give when you squeeze them. You can pair any type of fish with this light and delicious summer salsa. For added heat, add a little diced jalapeño pepper to the salsa. For a different take, try cilantro instead of basil.
