    Mango And Avocado Salad Recipe

    Fruit salad is a clear winner when it comes to summertime lunches or snacks: it’s crisp and refreshing in the heat of the afternoon and doesn’t take long to pull together when you want some.

    If pineapple and watermelon aren’t your favorites (or if you’re trying to cut back on your fructose intake), try this slightly different version of a summer salad, which tones down the sweetness a little with cucumbers and adds avocado for a more filling and satisfying dish.

    Mango And Avocado Salad

    The dressing on this salad is also a little different. The fish sauce doesn’t make it taste “fishy,” but it does add an interesting new note to the flavor.

    With the hot peppers, fish sauce, and mangoes, this salad almost has a Southeast Asian flavor – if the salad itself isn’t enough for your meal, try serving it with some Thai pork lettuce wraps or chicken curry rolls.

    When you’re choosing fruit for this salad, make sure to use a nice ripe mango; an unripe one will be too sour. Your fruit should have a little give when you squeeze it. Some mangoes turn red at the top, but that doesn’t mean they’re ripe; always judge by the way it feels, not the way it looks.

    If the only mangoes at the store aren’t ready yet, just buy an unripe one and leave it on your counter for a few days: like avocados, mangoes continue to ripen after they’re picked. In a few days, it will be juicy and ready to enjoy.
