Artificial Food Coloring Free Mango Avocado Salsa Salad
This vibrant bowl is a celebration of color and freshness, built entirely from whole, real ingredients that bring their own natural brilliance to the plate. Juicy mango, creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and sweet red bell pepper come together in a combination that looks stunning without a drop of artificial dye in sight. The dressing is a simple whisk of olive oil, fresh lime juice, raw honey, cumin, and a touch of turmeric — earthy, bright, and completely clean. For anyone navigating a diet free from synthetic color additives, this kind of recipe is a genuine win because every hue on the plate comes straight from nature. The jalapeño is optional, so you can dial the heat up or down depending on who's at the table. Folding in the avocado last and dressing everything gently keeps the texture luxurious rather than mushy. Serve it immediately for the best results, and don't be surprised if it disappears before you even sit down.
