Nutmeg Free Mango-Avocado Salad
Bright, creamy, and bursting with tropical flavor, this mango-avocado salad is the kind of dish that makes everyone at the table reach for seconds. Ripe mango and buttery avocado are a natural pairing, and the crisp cucumber and sharp red onion keep every bite lively and fresh. The zesty lime-and-honey dressing ties it all together with just the right balance of sweet and tangy, no warming spices required. For anyone navigating spice sensitivities, this recipe is a genuine win — the flavor comes entirely from fresh produce, citrus, and a drizzle of good olive oil. A handful of cilantro and an optional jalapeño round things out beautifully if you want a little heat. The key is folding gently so the avocado stays in gorgeous, intact cubes rather than turning into guacamole. Serve it immediately after dressing for the best texture and color.
