Notes

🫙 Storage & Make-Ahead

🧊 Storage

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Keep in mind the avocado will naturally soften and may darken slightly.

⏳ Make-ahead tip

If you’d like to prep ahead, dice the mango and mix the dressing ingredients separately. Add the avocado and toss everything together just before serving for the best texture and color.

🌞 Picnic tip

This salad is perfect for warm days and outdoor gatherings. Just add the avocado and lime right before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
