MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE



Mango-Avocado Salad With Lime Vinaigrette image

Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure. Underripe avocados will be hard, while overripe avocados will be mushy.
  • Use fresh goat cheese for the best flavor. If you can't find goat cheese, feta cheese is a good substitute.
  • Make sure to use fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, or basil. Dried herbs will not have the same flavor.
  • If you don't have a lime, you can use lemon juice instead. However, lime juice has a more tart and refreshing flavor.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. You can also add roasted vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.

Conclusion:

This avocado goat cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try.
