Avocado Mango Lime Salad (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 ripe avocados, diced
02 -
2 mangoes, diced
03 -
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
04 -
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
→ Dressing
05 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
06 -
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
07 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Halve the avocados lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully scoop the flesh onto a cutting board and dice into small, even cubes.
02 -
Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh away from the pits. Dice the mango into similarly sized cubes as the avocado, then transfer both to a medium mixing bowl.
03 -
Thinly slice the red onion into rings or half-rings, aiming for uniform thickness. Add the sliced red onion and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the avocado and mango.
04 -
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and fresh lime juice. Stir well to emulsify.
05 -
Pour the lime-olive oil dressing evenly over the salad. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
06 -
Gently toss all ingredients together to ensure even coating, taking care not to mash the avocado. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For best results, use ripe avocados and mangoes that yield slightly to pressure. To prevent browning, toss avocado in lime juice promptly after dicing.
02 -
Add finely chopped jalapeño or a pinch of chili flakes if you prefer extra heat.
03 -
For added texture, garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or sprinkle with crumbled feta.
