Yield 4 side salad servings or 6 servings of salsa

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 mango - peeled, pitted and cubed
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and cubed
1/2 red onion - diced
1 large tomato - diced
1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
1 Tbsp olive oil (optional)
salt/pepper to taste

Steps:

Peel and cube/dice the fruit and veggies as indicated above. Toss together in a medium bowl with lime, olive oil and feta cheese. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Serve on a bed of greens, as a side salad or piled high on your grilled favorite. Substitute the lime juice with Balsalmic Vinegar for a more robust version -great with grilled steaks and burger or grilled tuna. Leave out the feta and throw in a handful of freshly chopped cilantro for a light and lively summer flavor with cod, halibut or salmon.

Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The quality of your fruit will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for ripe, fragrant mangoes and avocados that yield to gentle pressure. Avoid any fruit that is bruised or has brown spots.

Cut the fruit properly: For the best presentation, cut the mangoes and avocados into uniform pieces. If you are using a mango pitter, be careful not to cut into the flesh of the fruit.

Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the fruit and vegetables. Overdressing the salad will weigh it down and make it less refreshing.

Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The avocados will start to brown after a few hours, so it's best to eat it as soon as possible.
