Mango, Avocado, and Cucumber Salsa image

There are so many layers of flavor from the sweetness of the mango to the heat from the chili peppers, we couldn't get enough of it. This would be amazing on top of some grilled chicken, pork, or fish. It would be just as good with some tortilla chips. Light, refreshing, and delicious!
