Picnic Ideas from Jealous in Chicago

In response to Kirstin and her jazz picnic, I love this salad that I put 
together up to two days in advance, and you don't have to have it with corn 
tortillas - you can have it by itself with the avocado and mango diced right 
in to the salad.  Obviously omit the avocado if you want to, but it really 
adds a great texture to the salad.  It only has 5 grams of fat with the 
avocado.
