How to make Avocado Mango Salad:
Wash the lettuce, and then place it as a base on a serving platter or individual plates. It will be the perfect bed for the mango, lettuce and avocado salad. Cut the avocado into pieces and add it to the bowl with the lettuce.
Next, take a ripe mango, cut it into small pieces and add it to the salad. The mango will be in charge of giving that sweet and tropical touch to your summer salad.
Peel and cut the cucumber the same way you did with the mango, into small pieces. Later, add it to the source of the salad. Now, cut the fresh cheese, or whatever you like, into small pieces and add it to the salad.
To prepare the vinaigrette, place the oil, vinegar and salt in a small bowl. Beat it a little so that you emulsify the mixture.
Trick: If you like to give an additional flavor to the salad vinaigrette, you can add a little honey.
Clever! You can now serve the avocado and mango salad with all its ingredients. You can also keep it in the fridge until serving time, but do not season it. Only dress when you are going to serve it.
