Dairy Free Mango-Avocado Salad
Bright, tropical, and impossibly fresh, this salad brings together sweet mango, creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and a zippy lime-honey dressing that ties every bite together. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, making it one of those recipes you'll reach for again and again. Every ingredient here is naturally free of dairy — no swaps, no substitutions, no second-guessing labels at the store. The dressing is a simple whisk of lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper, which means you get a rich, glossy coating without a drop of cream or butter. A little red onion and fresh cilantro add sharpness and herbal brightness, and if you like heat, the optional jalapeño takes the whole salad up a notch. The key move is folding gently so the avocado stays in beautiful, intact cubes rather than turning into guacamole. Serve it immediately for the best texture, and don't be surprised when it disappears before anything else on the table.
