Easy Mango Superfood Salad - 15-Minute Meal

This mango superfood salad is all about fresh, bright flavors and quick prep. It’s a no-cook dish that comes together in minutes.

The sweetness of mango balances the creamy avocado and the crunch of nuts. A squeeze of lime ties it all together.

About the Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes, diced

Use firm but ripe mangoes. If they’re not in season, substitute with peaches or pineapple.

1 avocado, diced

Choose avocados that yield slightly to pressure. No avocado? Try cucumber for a similar crunch.

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Soak in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the sharpness if you prefer.

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Not a fan? Swap with fresh mint or parsley.

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or cashews)

Toast them lightly for extra flavor. Seeds like pumpkin or sunflower work too.

Juice of 1 lime

Lemon juice works if you don’t have lime.

1 tbsp olive oil

Any neutral oil will do, but olive adds a nice flavor.

Salt and pepper to taste

Start with a pinch and adjust as needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the mango

Peel and dice the mangoes into bite-sized pieces. Aim for about 1/2-inch cubes.

2. Dice the avocado

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice. Squeeze lime juice over it immediately to prevent browning.

3. Slice the onion

Thinly slice the red onion. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes if you want to soften its bite.

4. Chop the herbs

Roughly chop the cilantro or your chosen herb.

5. Toast the nuts

Toast the nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly before chopping.

6. Combine everything

In a large bowl, gently toss the mango, avocado, onion, cilantro, and nuts. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or chill for up to an hour.

Delicious Variations

• Add a handful of baby spinach or arugula for extra greens.
• Toss in some diced red bell pepper for color and crunch.
• Sprinkle with crumbled feta or goat cheese for a creamy twist.
