Mango Avocado Salad
Mango-Avocado Salad is the perfect, refreshing summer dish. It's full of fresh fruit, herbs, and flavor. So simple to make, and everyone will love it.
I've always loved mangoes and avocados, but it wasn't until I went on a trip to Mexico that I tried them together in a salad. The combination of sweet and savory flavors was amazing, and I knew I had to recreate it at home. This recipe is my take on that classic Mexican salad. It's made with fresh mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and mint, and it's dressed with a simple lime vinaigrette. The result is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that's perfect for a summer party or a light lunch.
