Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a bit of spice)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Avocados: Avocados are a great source of healthy fats, which make the salad creamy and satisfying, while also contributing to its rich texture.
  • Mangoes: Mangoes provide a sweet and slightly tangy flavor, packed with vitamin C and antioxidants that support overall health.
  • Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a pop of color and a burst of fresh, herbaceous flavor that pairs wonderfully with the other ingredients.
  • Lime Juice: The tangy lime juice adds a citrusy kick that enhances the sweetness of the mango and the creaminess of the avocado.
