Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, gently combine the diced mangoes, avocado, thinly sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced red bell pepper. Add the optional jalapeño if desired. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, and optional honey or maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Combine and Serve: Pour the zesty dressing over the mango mixture. Toss gently until everything is lightly coated. Allow the salad to rest for about 10 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm mangoes with a sweet aroma.
  • Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • This salad pairs well with grilled chicken, shrimp, or fish.
