Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe avocado, diced
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Complementary Vegetables:
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, diced
Herbs:
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Gather all fresh ingredients and prepare a spacious mixing vessel for crafting the vibrant salad.
- Meticulously dice the creamy avocado, sweet mango, juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp red onion, and cool cucumber into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the fragrant cilantro, ensuring even distribution throughout the salad mixture.
- Transfer the chopped produce into the large bowl, creating a colorful and textural base.
- In a separate small container, create the zesty dressing by vigorously whisking together tangy lime juice, smooth olive oil, golden honey, and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the bright dressing over the assembled ingredients, using a gentle folding technique to coat each piece without bruising the delicate produce.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the top for a creamy, salty contrast.
- Garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves to enhance the herb’s aromatic profile.
- Serve immediately to preserve the salad’s crisp texture and vibrant flavors, ideal for a refreshing summer meal or side dish.
Notes
- Ripeness matters when selecting avocados and mangoes; choose fruits that yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal flavor and texture.
- Chill ingredients beforehand to keep the salad crisp and refreshing, especially during warm summer days.
- Customize the salad by swapping feta with vegan alternatives like tofu crumbles or nutritional yeast for dairy-free diets.
- Prevent browning of avocados by adding lime juice immediately after cutting, which helps maintain their bright green color and prevents oxidation.
