A refreshing and vibrant salad that combines the creamy texture of avocado with the sweet and tangy flavor of mango. Perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish at your next barbecue.
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, diced
2 ripe mangoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (for a bit of heat)
Instructions:
Prepare the ingredients:
Dice the avocados and mangoes into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion.
Chop the fresh cilantro and, if using, finely chop the jalapeño.
Combine the ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocado, mango, red bell pepper, and red onion.
Dress the salad:
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Add cilantro and jalapeño:
Add the chopped cilantro and jalapeño (if using) to the salad, and give it one final gentle toss.
Serve immediately:
This salad is best served fresh. Enjoy it on its own, as a topping for grilled fish or chicken, or with a side of tortilla chips.
Tips:
To prevent the avocado from browning, make sure it is well coated with the lime juice.
You can add a handful of arugula or mixed greens for extra texture and nutrition.
For a different twist, try adding some crumbled feta cheese or toasted nuts.
