Avocado Mango Salad with Zesty Lime Dressing

A vibrant salad bursting with flavor, combining creamy avocados, sweet mangoes, and refreshing vegetables, all drizzled with a zesty lime dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Start by washing all your fresh produce. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Cut the avocado into bite-sized cubes and squeeze some lime juice on them to prevent browning.
  2. Dice the mangoes: Cut along the sides of the pit, score the flesh in a grid pattern, then scoop it out into your mixing bowl. Splash some lime juice on it.
  3. Cut the vegetables: Dice the red bell pepper and cucumber into similar-sized pieces. Remove seeds from the bell pepper and cut into strips before dicing. Peel the cucumber if needed, slice off ends, and cut it into chunks.
  4. Finely chop the onion: Slice thinly then chop it finely, rinsing under cold water if you prefer a milder taste.
  5. Chop the cilantro: Chop finely and add to the mix.
  6. Make the dressing: Whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  7. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with the dressing, and toss carefully to avoid mashing the avocado.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  9. Chill (optional): Let sit in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add thinly sliced jalapeños or cayenne pepper. This salad is best served fresh but can be prepped in advance.
