Description
Avocado Mango Salad is a vibrant and healthy dish that combines creamy avocado with juicy mangoes, fresh vegetables, and a tangy lime dressing. It’s a refreshing and nutritious salad, perfect as a side dish or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado (diced)
- 1 ripe mango (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or chopped jalapeño (for some heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Peel and dice the avocado and mango. Slice the red onion and bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Chop the cilantro and set all ingredients aside in a large bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chili flakes or chopped jalapeño if you prefer some heat.
- Toss the salad: Pour the dressing over the diced avocado, mango, bell pepper, onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with extra cilantro or a lime wedge, if desired.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add toasted nuts or crispy tortilla strips.
- For a sweeter version, drizzle honey or agave nectar over the salad.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, add Greek yogurt or sour cream to the dressing.
