Avocado Mango Lime Chickpea Salad

Avocados and mangoes have been on sale at the store lately, and they’ve been beautifully ripe. This is a good thing, but it also means that I need to use up what I buy so they don’t get overripe. I had a Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin cooking in the slow cooker all day, and I wanted to make an easy side dish to go with it. I threw this salad together, and oh… my… goodness. It was fantastic! It’s super simple to put together, and if you’re working with really ripe fruit, it just melts in your mouth. This was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be making it again!
