Mango-licious Tilapia

Mango-licious Tilapia

My son’s girlfriend, Nicole, named this ‘mango-licous’. The mango salsa is great over the tilapia, as a dip or on cottage cheese. Try serving the tilapia over brown basmati rice or lightly dressed salad greens for a complete meal. Then generously top with the salsa. Mango-licious!!
