I love simple meals and I really love simple meals that are healthy too. This avocado, tomato, mango salad is sweet, zesty, and a bit spicy if you add some cayenne pepper to the mix.
One of my dearest friends in the world first made this but I adjusted the avocado ratio (I am obsessed with avocados) and added the heat and onions (if you’re eating it more as a salsa, I think this is key).
It’s a perfect accompaniment to grilled food or for some chicken or beef in a wrap. I hope this becomes one of your favorite recipes too!
Avocado Mango Tomato Salad
Ingredients:
– 2 ripe small mangoes or 1 large mango, cut into medium chunks (~ 1 cup)
– 2 Hass (also know as Haas but apparently that’s a misnomer) avocados (1+ cup)
– 1.5 cups halved cherry tomatoes
– juice from 1 lime
– pinch of salt
– ¼ medium onion minced (opt.)
– 2 – 3 tbs. minced cilantro (opt.)
– pinch of cayenne pepper (opt.)
Instructions:
Combine all ingredients and that’s it (I don’t like cilantro so didn’t include that)!

Conveniently Happy Cinco de Mayo! But hey, I say have this salad every week!
