    About This Recipe

    This salad recipe is always a hit! Every time I make it it's gone in record time.

    The flavor combination is what makes it so addicting: the fruity mango, creamy avocado, and crunchy bell pepper pair perfectly with the fresh lime and olive oil dressing. To really take it over the top, add a sprinkle of salt on top before serving.

    This recipe is also super versatile. It can be eaten plain or as a topping (for chicken, fish, etc.) or as a dip for tortilla chips (this is my favorite)!

    So next time you need a dish to impress guests or bring to a BBQ, this should be first on your list 🙂

    Ingredient Notes:

    Here are some popular ingredient substitutions and additions for this recipe:

    • Mangos: this recipe uses 4 mangos, or about 4 cups of cubed mangos. If you buy small mangos, you may need more than 4.
    • Jalapeno: use more or less jalapeno (or none!) depending on how spicy you want the recipe to be.
    • Honey: you can swap this out for your favorite sweetener (like maple syrup or sugar). Add more or less to adjust the sweetness of the recipe.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I tell if my mangos are ripe?

    Don't use the color of a mango to tell if it's ripe (this can vary)! Instead, press on it gently to see if it 'gives' a little bit. It should feel soft instead of completely firm. The area near the stem should also smell fruity/sweet.

    How should I serve this salad?

    This salad is most popular served as a side dish or as an appetizer/snack with tortilla chips. You can also serve it as a topping for fish or chicken.
