Salad Ingredients
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 large mango, diced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing all fresh produce to ensure cleanliness and freshness.
- Dice the avocado, mango, tomatoes, and onion: Carefully cut the avocado, mango, tomatoes, and onion into bite-sized pieces, making sure the sizes are uniform for consistent texture and appearance.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.
- Combine the salad: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced avocado, mango, tomatoes, onions, and freshly chopped cilantro.
- Toss with the dressing: Drizzle the prepared lemon dressing over the combined salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Serve immediately: For the freshest and most vibrant flavors, serve the salad right away, or optionally chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if a cooler salad is preferred.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocado and mango to maintain texture.
- Chilling the salad for a short time enhances the flavors but avoid long refrigeration as avocado can brown.
- This salad is best consumed fresh to enjoy optimal texture and taste.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on preference.
- Fresh cilantro is key for authentic flavor; dried herbs are not recommended.
