Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Peel and dice 3 ripe mangoes into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice ¼ red onion, dice 1 red bell pepper, and chop ¼ cup cilantro. Combine in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk the juice of 2 limes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon chili powder or Tajín, and a pinch of kosher salt until the salt dissolves.

  3. 3

    Pour the dressing over the fruit and toss gently so the mango doesn't mash. Fold in 1 diced avocado just before serving if using — earlier and it browns and softens.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust lime or salt. Serve chilled. You want a bright, juicy mango salad with a chili-lime kick and crisp pepper crunch — not a mushy overripe mess or a bland underseasoned bowl.
