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.
