Avocado Mango Salad with Zesty Lime Dressing

Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Course: Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2-3 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
  • 2-4 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño or Fresno chili, finely diced, optional
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon cumin or chili powder

Method
 

  1. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional spices until combined. Taste and adjust with more honey, lime, or salt if needed.
  2. Dice the mango: Peel and cut mango into small, even ½-inch cubes. Add the mango to the bowl with the dressing.
  3. Add vegetables and herbs: Add cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and optional chili. Toss gently to coat.
  4. Add avocado: Dice the avocado and add it last. Fold gently with a large spoon so the avocado stays in creamy chunks.
  5. Taste and serve: Adjust with more lime, salt, or chili if needed. Serve right away, or chill for 15–30 minutes before serving.
