Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Produce
Peel and dice 2 ripe Sindhri or Chaunsa mangoes into bite-sized cubes. Dice the cucumber and avocado, thinly slice the red onion, and roughly chop the cilantro and mint.
Make the Lime-Chili Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, chopped red chili, salt, and honey until well combined and slightly emulsified. Taste and adjust the lime or chili to your preference.
Assemble the Salad
Place the salad greens in a large bowl and scatter the mango, cucumber, red onion, and avocado on top. Sprinkle over the fresh herbs.
Dress and Serve
Drizzle the lime-chili dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat, taking care not to mash the avocado. Serve immediately while fresh and crisp, ideally within 15 minutes of dressing.
