Avocado & Mango Salad
Top off taco Tuesday with these fresh flavours.
This recipe is twice as nice because it can play double duty as both a salad and a salsa. The smaller your cuts on the mango and avocado (and the riper the fruits), the more ‘salsa’ your dish will become. Portions are also up for grabs with this recipe. I don’t think any proportion of ingredients will make or break the flavours because whatever combination you choose everything comes out fresh and delicious. —CFG
INGREDIENTS:
1 large mango (~1 1/2 cups)
1 large avocado (~1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup red pepper, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp pineapple juice (or other tropical fruit juice such as orange/mango)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl add 1 large avocado, cut into 1/2” cubes and 1 large mango, cut into 1/2” cubes. (Cut smaller for more of a salsa texture.)
Add in 1/4 cup chopped red pepper and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion. Mix all ingredients together.
To the mixture add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, 1/2 tsp of cumin, 1 tbsp of pineapple juice, and 1/4 cup of roughly chopped fresh cilantro. Mix all ingredients until fully incorporated and chill until ready to serve.
Serve and enjoy!
