❔ FAQs
Absolutely! This combination is not only healthy, but also tasty and so filling! Both ingredients are good sources of fiber and vitamin C, and avocados have lots of good healthy fats.
I recommend cutting in half lengthwise and separating the halves. Then remove the pit and dice into squares before removing the avocado from its skin.
To cut a mango, use a peeler to remove the skin, then dice into appropriately sized chunks.
💭 Expert Tips and Tricks
- Feel free to make the pieces of avocado and mango as large or small as you like.
- For another method of cutting mango, cut it so the flesh is exposed. Cut through the mango and dice the fruit without piercing the skin. Once you're finished, you should be able to invert the mango and cut the fruit pieces away from the skin.
📌 Refreshing and delicious, this summer mango salad is bursting with light and tangy flavors that will delight the palette!
💡 Substitutions and Variations
- About 2 tablespoons of bottled lime juice can be used instead of fresh lime juice in a pinch.
- There are a wide variety of additional ingredients you can add for more color and flavor in your mango avocado salad. Halved cherry or grape tomatoes, cilantro, honey, and balsamic vinegar are all great options.
🥫 Storage
Keep your Avocado Mango Salad in an airtight container in the fridge. Try to eat it within a day or two of making it. The lime juice will help slow down oxidation to a certain extent, but once cut, your avocado will brown even in the fridge.

Notes
- If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can substitute about 2 tablespoons of bottled lime juice.
- To peel a mango, hold it firmly with one hand and use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Begin at the top of the mango and work your way down, following the shape of the fruit. Ensure that you remove all the skin, rotating the mango as needed. Then cube the mango for the salad.
- To cube the avocado, hold it steady on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to make a lengthwise cut through the avocado until you feel the pit. Then rotate the avocado around the knife to cut all the way around the pit. Twist the two halves in opposite directions to separate them, then remove the pit by striking it (carefully!) with the blade of the knife and twisting gently. In each half, use a knife to make lengthwise and crosswise cuts into the flesh, creating a grid-like pattern, without cutting through the skin. Then use a spoon to scoop out the cubed sections, sliding the spoon between the flesh and the skin.
