Author Notes

This is one of the easiest, most delicious things I make. The combination of sweet, unctuous, sour, and spicy is utterly addictive. This salad is good for breakfast, or makes a great lunch alongside a plain cheese quesadilla.
The number of mangoes and avocados I use depends on their relative sizes -- I like to have a little bit more mango than avocado, because I think the flavor balance is better that way. —Emily Whetstone

Test Kitchen Notes

We served this salad atop smoked chicken tacos as a light, refreshing salsa. I loved the sweetness of the mangoes and the creaminess of the avocado. I had the idea to toss in a quick pickled red onion, and the crunch made it the perfect addition to our summer supper. —TaraT

What You'll Need
Ingredients

Directions
  1. Peel mangoes and avocado, cut into cubes, and mix together.
  2. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne to taste -- I like mine pretty spicy.

Yes, exactly. I hope you give it a try! It's so easy, and I get raves when I make it.
