The Method

1
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey (or agave, if using), salt, and pepper to create the lime vinaigrette.
2
Gently toss the diced avocado, mango, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro in a large bowl.
3
Pour the lime vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat. Be careful not to overmix to avoid mashing the avocado.
4
Serve immediately or chill for later. If chilling, add the vinaigrette just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning.

Chef's Tips

To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little extra lime juice after dicing.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.

This salad pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp. It's also delicious as a topping for tacos or tostadas.

If you don't have red onion, you can substitute it with a small amount of finely chopped shallot.
