Grilled Tilapia with Avocado Mango Salsa

                   Wow what a fun Monday yesterday was. The weather was amazing, the mood in the air was so bright and good spirited. I would love to have more Mondays like this one.

                        With it being so warm out, and me needing to use up some ingredients in my kitchen before going grocery shopping, I decided to prepare something fun for our early dinner. Grilled Tilapia in a creamy sauce, served with an Avocado Mango Salsa, and Grilled Corn on the Cob, with a spicy mayo sauce. This amazing, fast and easy dinner left us full, and very satisfied.

Makes 4 servings

For the salsa

1 whole Medium- small avocado, peeled and diced

You can always replace the mango for blueberries, or granny smith apples. 

For the Tilapia:

 

4 fillets of tilapia  

1 tbs. Vegeta, all purpose seasoning
