  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed greens (such as romaine lettuce, spinach, and kale)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds or cashews
  • For the Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Chop the mango, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced mango, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Gently toss to distribute the ingredients.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients. Sprinkle with toasted almonds or cashews for added crunch. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
  • Substitute pineapple or papaya for mango to vary the tropical flavors.
  • Include black beans or chickpeas for added fiber and plant-based protein.
  • Use other nuts like pecans or walnuts for a different texture.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • If you don’t have lime juice, lemon juice works as a great substitute.
