Ingredients

Scale

Fruits & Vegetables

  • 2 ripe mangos (diced)
  • 1 ripe avocado (diced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 shallot or mild red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 red chili pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 15 leaves fresh mint
  • 2 limes (juiced)

Seasoning & Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cut the mango: Place the mango on its side and carefully slice as close as possible to the pit using a chef’s knife. Repeat on the other side. Next, cut off any remaining flesh from the mango pit and dice it.
  2. Score the mango flesh: Using a paring knife, score the mango flesh into squares without cutting through the skin.
  3. Invert and remove diced mango: Turn the mango inside out to expose the diced cubes, then cut them off with a paring knife and place into a mixing bowl or serving platter.
  4. Add vegetables: Add the diced avocado, diced red bell pepper, thinly sliced shallot or red onion, and thinly sliced red chili pepper to the bowl with the mango.
  5. Season the salad: Pour in the olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, and sprinkle salt over the mixture.
  6. Toss and garnish: Gently toss all ingredients to combine the flavors evenly and garnish the salad with fresh mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mangoes to ensure the salad holds texture without becoming mushy.
  • The red chili pepper can be adjusted or omitted depending on your preferred spice level.
  • For extra zest, add a teaspoon of honey or a pinch of sugar to balance acidity if desired.
  • This salad is best served fresh; prepare just before serving for optimal freshness and texture.
  • Can be enjoyed as a side dish or a light, refreshing snack.
