Frequently asked questions
What to serve with this salad
My kids LOVE this Avocado Mango Salad. It is very kid friendly and goes with almost everything. We serve it with grilled foods or even non-grilled foods. I serve it all the time during our BBQ gatherings. I recommend grilled chicken, grilled salmon, grilled shrimps or even grilled steaks to serve along with the recipe. It also pairs well with other sides you may serve with your proteins such as white rice or fries.
How do I know when a Mango is ripe?
Squeeze gently to judge ripeness. A ripe mango will give slightly, indicating soft flesh inside. Use your experience with produce such as peaches or avocados, which also become softer as they ripen. Ripe mangoes are golden in color and will sometimes have a fruity aroma at their stem ends.
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
This recipe is best served fresh because the avocadoes do change color over a short period of time. You can prepare all the ingredients ahead if you like without the avocados, and then add in the avocados right before you serve. You can store any left overs in an air tight container in the fridge.
