Avo/Mango Salad

The combination of avocado and mango is amazing - slightly savory, slightly salty avocado yummifies the tropical sweetness of mango.  Honestly I've eaten these two together by themselves before, no other ingredients, and they're almost as good.  Throw in the extras, and you've got yourself a really great salad to go with some roasted chicken or salmon!

2 avocados*
2 small mangoes* or 1 large
2 heads romaine, chopped
1/2 small red onion, very finely chopped
1/4 c chopped cilantro (optional)
1/2 c chopped almonds
juice of 1/2 big lime
S/P

Toss everything together in a big bowl, and garnish with cilantro and almonds.

*Why is the plural of avocado "avocados", while the plural of mango "mangoes"?
