Avocado, tomato, mango salad/salsa {recipe} for dinner and the Florrie Mitton Couture Garter winner

May 5, 2010

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)!

My version this week:

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

    I wish I loved avocado because this looks really great! I have no idea what is wrong with either my husband or I. I think we are the only two people on the planet with an aversion to it.

    Congrats to the winner!!
