This mango salad is zingy, refreshing and super tasty! Mango, avocado and lettuce are piled high, then drizzled with a zingy lime ginger dressing. It's easy, bursting with flavour and ready in minutes!

Mango Salad

Seasonal mangoes are an absolute joy. I always end up getting loads and using them in all sorts of recipes, like this delicious mango salad, or mango compote (perfect on yogurt, pancakes, oats etc...).

Green salads can be a little dull - but not this one! It is absolutely bursting with taste! I used mixed leaves for a variety of flavours and textures, then topped it with chunks of fresh, juicy mango and slices of creamy avocado. Some chopped mint and black sesame seeds add a little extra WOW. The dressing is a quick and vibrant Lime Ginger Dressing. It only takes seconds to make, but really lifts the salad with zingy flavour.

Green Salad with Mango and Avocado

Don't get me wrong, I do love a green salad. But I always see it as the basis, or bottom layer, to a variety of fruits, veggies, herbs and other goodies.

There's nothing worse than being served a plate of iceberg lettuce (we've all been there, right veggies and vegans?). Especially when it takes very little effort to really jazz up a green salad.

I love the way the mango brings juicy sweetness to this salad, while the avocado brings a mild creaminess. They both compliment the leaves beautifully.

Lime and Ginger Dressing

This is a really tasty dressing, that only takes seconds to prepare! You will need:

Extra virgin olive oil
Maple syrup
Fresh ginger
Lime juice
Salt and pepper

It couldn't be easier to make the dressing. Simply mix all the ingredients together, then keep in the fridge and drizzle over the plated up salad!
Tip: as with most salads, don't put the dressing on until just before eating or it could go a little soggy.

Then for the salad, you'll need:

Lettuce leaves (I like a mix of bitter, sweet, and crunchy leaves)
Mango chunks
Avocado
Mint leaves (optional)
Black sesame seeds (optional)
