Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Cut the ripe avocados and mangoes in half. Remove the pits and peel the skin off. Dice the fruit into ½-inch cubes.
  2. Slice the red onion thinly. Soak the slices in cold water for about 10 minutes if the flavor is too strong.
  3. Mix the diced avocado, mango, and sliced onion in a medium mixing bowl using a spatula to avoid mashing.
  4. Chop fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the fruit mixture, folding gently to incorporate.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and olive oil to create the dressing.
  6. If desired, finely mince jalapeno pepper and stir into the dressing.
  7. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, whisking again to combine.
  8. Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture, gently tossing everything together.
  9. Taste the salad and adjust the flavors with more lime juice or salt as needed.
  10. Optionally, cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve the Avocado Mango Salad immediately as a side dish or light meal.
