Mango Salad with Lime Ginger Dressing
Description
Mango Salad with Lime Ginger Dressing brings together fresh, crisp lettuce leaves with sweet mango cubes and smooth avocado slices. The lime ginger dressing provides a tangy and lightly sweet contrast with olive oil, maple syrup, and freshly grated ginger, enhancing the fresh produce's flavor without overpowering it. Black sesame seeds add a subtle nutty crunch, while mint provides a cooling herbal note.
The salad is assembled just before serving to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and the freshness of the dressing. The components combine to create a refreshing dish with a balance of textures: crunchy greens, juicy mango, creamy avocado, and crunchy seeds. The lime wedges on the side offer additional citrus that can be squeezed over to taste.
Because the dressing can wilt the greens over time, it’s best to add it right before eating if you prepare ahead. This salad works well as a light side or starter especially during warmer weather.
