Mangoes, often referred to as the "king of fruits," are not only beloved for their succulent sweetness but also for their impressive nutritional profile. Packed with vitamins A and C, mangoes provide a boost to your immune system and skin health. Their natural sugars offer a quick energy source, making them an excellent addition to any meal. The tropical flavor of mangoes seamlessly blends with the rich, buttery texture of avocados, which are known for their heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Avocados are not just creamy delights; they are also loaded with fiber, potassium, and vitamins E and K, making them a nutritional powerhouse.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, diced into bite-sized cubes

1 large avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for an extra kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling the ripe mangoes and cutting them into bite-sized cubes. Next, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh, cutting it into cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and dice the cucumber into small pieces.

    Mix the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and diced cucumber. Use a gentle hand to toss the ingredients together, taking care not to mash the avocado.

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili powder (if you prefer a little heat). Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as necessary to suit your palate.

        Combine Everything: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and sprinkle in the chopped cilantro. Toss everything together gently until all the ingredients are beautifully coated with the dressing.

          Serve Immediately: Transfer the salad to a decorative serving platter or scoop it into individual bowls. This vibrant salad is best enjoyed fresh, making it an ideal side dish or a light main course to savor right away.
