Ingredients
Dressing
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Salad
- 3 mangoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

- 1 Fresno chili, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and emulsified, creating a tangy and slightly sweet dressing.
- Combine salad ingredients: Add the diced mangoes, diced avocados, diced red pepper, roughly chopped red onions, minced Fresno chili, and chopped cilantro to the bowl containing the dressing.

Notes
- Use ripe but firm mangoes and avocados to maintain good texture.
- Adjust the amount of Fresno chili to control the heat level.
- This salad is best served fresh; avoid letting it sit too long to prevent avocado browning.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
