Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 2 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the ripe avocados and mangos, finely chop the red onion, and dice the red bell pepper. Chop the fresh cilantro and set all ingredients aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
- Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the combined vegetables and fruit in the large bowl. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly while being careful not to mash the avocado, maintaining its texture.
- Add Heat if Desired: For a spicy kick, add the minced jalapeño to the salad and toss again gently to distribute the heat throughout the salad.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the salad fresh to enjoy the best texture and vibrant flavor. This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish, or tortilla chips.
Notes
- This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
- To prevent the avocado from browning when storing leftovers, cover the surface with plastic wrap pressed directly on it and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Pairs excellently with grilled chicken, fish, or served alongside tortilla chips for a light appetizer or snack.
