Ingredients

For the Salad

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
• 1 ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

For the Lime Dressing

• Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: zest of ½ lime for added brightness

Instructions

1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and lime zest (if using). Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine mango, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
3. Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine — just enough to coat without mashing the avocado. Serve immediately.
