Scale
Dressing
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Salad
- 3 mangoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 avocados, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped red onions
- 1 Fresno chili, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This forms a tangy and slightly sweet dressing that complements the fresh ingredients.
- Combine the salad ingredients: Add the diced mangoes, diced avocados, red pepper, roughly chopped red onions, minced Fresno chili, and chopped cilantro into the bowl with the prepared dressing.
- Toss the salad: Gently stir all the ingredients together with a spatula or large spoon until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors and optimal texture.
Notes
- Serve immediately for best flavor and to prevent the avocados from browning.
- Adjust the amount of Fresno chili according to your spice preference.
- This salad makes a great side dish for grilled meats, fish, or as a light meal on its own.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Use ripe but firm mangoes and avocados to maintain texture.
