MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE
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.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine oil, lime juice, shallot, fish sauce, sugar and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended, then stir in half of the cilantro. Reserve half of the dressing in a small bowl for serving.
- Arrange lettuce in an even layer on a serving platter. Add mangoes, snap peas and avocados to the large bowl and gently toss to evenly coat in the dressing.
- Arrange salad over lettuce and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve with the reserved dressing on the side, for drizzling.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: For the best flavor and texture, use avocados that are ripe but not overripe. Ripe avocados will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed and have a deep, dark green color.
- Cut avocados properly: To cut an avocado, first cut it in half lengthwise around the pit. Then, twist the two halves apart and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh cilantro.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately: Avocado salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocados will start to brown if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Avocado salad with avocado-lime vinaigrette is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy avocados, crisp vegetables, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit.
