Avocado Mango Salad is a bright, refreshing mix of creamy avocado, sweet mango, crisp veggies, and zesty lime dressing. It’s full of vibrant flavors and textures—perfect as a light meal, side dish, or fresh topping for grilled proteins.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 small jalapeño, minced (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Dice the mango, avocado, red bell pepper, red onion, and cucumber (if using).
  2. Gently combine all the chopped fruits and veggies in a large bowl.
  3. Add the chopped cilantro or parsley and minced jalapeño if you want a little spice.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  6. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill for 15–20 minutes before serving if you prefer it cold.

Notes

  • Add black beans or chickpeas to make the salad more filling.
  • Mix in arugula or baby spinach for a green salad version.
