Mango Salad
Description
The Mango Salad incorporates diced mango and creamy avocado with crunchy red bell pepper, minced jalapeño, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro leaves. The dressing composed of olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper provides a citrusy, slightly sweet, and mildly spiced coating. Tossing the salad gently combines the ingredients without mashing the fruit, preserving textures.
This salad offers a combination of juicy, creamy, crisp, and slightly spicy elements, making it suitable as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. The contrasting ingredients make it visually appealing and flavorful.
If preparing in advance, omit the avocado until just before serving to maintain its texture and color. Cilantro can be substituted with green onions for those who prefer a different herb note.
