Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe Hass avocados
- 2 ripe Ataulfo or Honey mangoes
- 1 small red onion
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- Juice of 2 limes
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 fresh jalapeño or serrano chili
- 2 tablespoons good quality olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar or agave nectar
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: First things first, wash all your fresh produce thoroughly.
- Dice the Salad Components: Carefully halve and pit your avocados. Using a knife, score the flesh into a grid pattern inside the skin, then scoop out the diced avocado with a spoon. Place it directly into a large mixing bowl. Next, peel and dice your ripe mangoes into similar-sized cubes. Add them to the bowl with the avocado. Finely dice the red onion and bell pepper, then add them to the bowl. Coarsely chop the fresh cilantro and set it aside for now.
- Make the Chili Lime Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and a pinch of lime zest. For the chili, thinly slice it lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and membranes with a small spoon, and then finely mince it. Add the minced chili to the lime juice mixture. Pour in your olive oil, add a pinch of salt, and a tiny bit of sugar or agave nectar. Whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Combine and Gently Toss: Pour the prepared chili lime drizzle over the diced avocado, mango, red onion, and bell pepper in the large mixing bowl. Add the chopped cilantro.
- Serve Immediately: Gently toss all the ingredients together using a large spoon or spatula. Be delicate to avoid mashing the avocado.
