Chestnut Free Mango-Avocado Salad
Bright, tropical, and loaded with creamy avocado and juicy mango, this salad is the kind of dish that makes people stop mid-bite and ask for the recipe. Cool cucumber and sharp red onion add crunch and contrast, while fresh cilantro ties everything together with a herby lift. The honey-lime dressing is whisked up in minutes and brings just the right balance of sweet and tangy without overpowering the fresh produce. A little jalapeño is optional, but if you're into a gentle kick, it's absolutely worth adding. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nut concerns — no swaps, no substitutions, just clean, whole foods that happen to work beautifully together. Because the avocado is folded in gently rather than tossed aggressively, it stays in gorgeous cubes instead of turning into guacamole. Serve it immediately for the best texture, and don't be surprised when the bowl is empty before anything else on the table.
