Notes
Storage: To keep the salad fresh, store the avocado mango salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 24 hours to prevent the avocados from browning and losing their texture.
Reheating: This salad is best served cold and should not be reheated. If you have leftovers, simply chill them in the refrigerator and enjoy them cold the next day.
Serving: Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or a light main course. It pairs well with grilled chicken or fish and can be garnished with extra cilantro for added flavor.
Chef’s Tip: To prevent the avocados from browning, you can add a little extra lime juice to the diced avocados right after cutting them. This not only enhances the flavor but also helps maintain the vibrant color of the salad.
