Tropical Mango and Avocado Green Salad

This tropical green salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer. The sweet mango and creamy avocado are complemented by the tangy red onion, mint, and cilantro, while the lime juice and olive oil add a bright and zesty flavor.

This recipe was inspired by a trip to the Caribbean, where I had a similar salad at a local restaurant. I was so impressed by the flavors that I decided to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I finally came up with this recipe, which I think is even better than the original.
