A vibrant and healthy Mango Avocado Salad combining ripe mangoes, creamy avocados, and fresh vegetables, topped with roasted sunflower seeds and a zesty lime dressing. This nourishing salad is easy to prepare in just 15 minutes and serves as a perfect refreshing side or light meal.

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 ripe or semi-ripe mangos, peeled and diced (about 663 grams)
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and chopped (about 473 grams)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
  • 1 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro (50 grams)
  • 1 cup chopped red bell pepper (about 150 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons roasted sunflower seeds (salted or unsalted)

Dressing

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice (start with 2 and add more to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • 1 fresh red chile pepper or jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the diced mangos, chopped avocados, finely chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, chopped red bell pepper, and roasted sunflower seeds. Handle carefully to keep the avocado intact.
  2. Add Dressing: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and lime juice over the combined ingredients, ensuring even distribution for a fresh and tangy flavor.
  3. Toss Salad: Gently toss the salad ingredients together to mix the flavors without mashing the fruit and vegetables. Season with salt to taste and toss again to evenly season.
  4. Optional Heat: If desired, stir in the minced fresh red chile pepper or jalapeño for some heat, or serve it on the side to suit individual preferences.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mangoes and avocados for best texture.
  • Adjust the lime juice and salt to your preference for acidity and seasoning.
  • The salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
  • Sunflower seeds add a nice crunch, but you can substitute with toasted pumpkin seeds or nuts.
  • Omitting the fresh chile makes it suitable for mild palates.
