The best, vegan avocado mango salad recipe with a simple Spanish style chili, maple and cilantro lime dressing.

Avocado Mango Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing

It’s a salad, it’s a salsa, it’s a dip!

It’s whatever you guys want it to be!

Serve it as a snack with a bag of chips, or toss with your favorite leafy greens to serve over a bed of quinoa or black rice and make a meal of things. Think arugula, spinach, butter lettuce or fragrant basil, maybe even a handful of toasted pine nuts.

Get creative, see what needs to get used up from the fridge. Maybe spoon them over these jackfruit tacos and call it a night!

This mango avocado salad is quick and easy to make, healthy and super delicious!

However, as you most likely know, cut up avocado oxidizes quickly and turns brown, so this salad is best prepared right before serving. If you must make it in advance wait to add in the avocado at the very last, or store in a glass container layered with thin slices of lime over the top to slow the browning process.
