How to Make
Start by preparing your ingredients: dice the mango and avocado carefully, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the red onion and cilantro. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced mango, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle the lime juice over the top, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything delicately to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed without mashing the avocado. Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing taste.
Tips

- Use fresh lime juice to enhance the brightness of the salad.
Make-Ahead
The Mango & Avocado Glow salad can be made a few hours in advance. Just keep it covered in the fridge and add the lime juice just before serving to keep the avocado from browning.
Storing
This salad is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
Freezing
We do not recommend freezing this salad, as the textures of the avocado and mango can change after thawing.
Reheating
Since this is a fresh salad, there’s no need to reheat it. Simply enjoy it chilled!
Serving Suggestions
This vibrant salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or as a standalone dish. It’s perfect for barbecues, picnics, or as a light meal on hot summer days.
