Author Notes
I devised this little salad while on vacation in Florida this week. Something about sitting on the sand all week and diving into cool water made me crave the combination of sweet ripe mangoes, cool cucumbers, creamy avocado, cilantro, and fresh lime. It's a pretty unbeatable snack. For a more substantial meal, I often add some chickpeas into the mix. —Maja Lukic - Veggies & Gin
