Instructions
- Thinly slice the red onion and soak in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce sharpness, then drain.
- Stand the mango upright and slice off the sides, avoiding the pit. Peel the skin, then dice the flesh into ½-inch cubes. Scrape any remaining flesh from the pit and chop.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Chiffonade the basil by stacking the leaves, rolling them, and slicing into thin ribbons.
- Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and dice just before assembling to prevent browning.
- In a mason jar or small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Shake or whisk until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently toss avocado, mango, red onion, basil, and tomatoes. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss lightly to coat.
- Serve immediately or chill briefly (up to 30 minutes) before serving for the best flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados and mangoes to prevent mushiness.
- If making ahead, toss diced avocado with a little lemon juice before adding to the salad to slow browning.
- Try adding baby spinach, strawberries, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for variation.
- You can prep everything in advance, but add the vinaigrette just before serving to keep textures crisp
