Description
A refreshing and healthy mango avocado salad that combines sweet and creamy flavors with a tangy dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 ripe avocados, cubed
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1 small bell pepper, diced
- 1 handful of cilantro, chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- A pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeno (optional)
Instructions
- Prep your produce by cubing the mango and avocado, dicing the cucumber and pepper, and slicing the onion thin.
- Add everything to a large bowl, starting with mango, then avocado, followed by all crunchy ingredients and sprinkle cilantro.
- Mix the dressing in a small cup: lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey if necessary, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
- Finish with seeds or nuts on top and enjoy immediately or chill for 10 to 15 minutes for a refreshing effect.
Notes
Choose ripe mangoes and avocados for the best flavor. Lime juice helps keep the avocado from browning.
