Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, diced

1 large ripe mango, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cucumber, diced

½ red onion, finely chopped

1 small red bell pepper, diced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: ¼ teaspoon chili powder for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing all fresh produce under cold water to remove any dirt or residues. Carefully dice the avocados and mango, ensuring to remove the pits. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber into small pieces, and finely chop the red onion and red bell pepper. Aim for uniform sizes to make the salad visually appealing.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey or agave syrup, and a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended. If you enjoy a bit of heat, stir in the chili powder at this stage.

      Combine the Salad Components: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced avocados, mango, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and red bell pepper. These vibrant ingredients will create a colorful base for your salad.

        Toss Gently: With a large spatula or spoon, carefully toss all the ingredients together. The goal here is to evenly coat everything with the dressing without mashing the delicate avocados.

          Incorporate Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle the freshly chopped cilantro on top of the salad. Give the mixture one final gentle toss to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the salad.

            Serve and Enjoy: This delightful salad can be served immediately at room temperature or for a refreshing twist, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
