Dressing Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Start by dicing the avocado, mango, tomatoes, and onion into bite-sized pieces to ensure every bite is well balanced and flavorful.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well emulsified and smooth.
- Combine the salad: Place the diced avocado, mango, tomatoes, onion, and chopped cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
- Toss with the dressing: Drizzle the prepared lemon dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the salad fresh for the best flavor and texture, or chill it briefly if you prefer a cooler dish.
Notes
- For best taste, use ripe but firm avocado and mango to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours without compromising texture.
- Adjust salt and lemon juice according to your preference for acidity and seasoning.
- Optional: Add a dash of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
