MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE



Mango-Avocado Salad With Lime Vinaigrette image

Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups beans, rinsed and drained (pinto or black beans, or your choice)
1 cup grape tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup corn kernel (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 ripe avocado
3/4 cup salsa (prepared, prepared, not chunky)
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons lime juice
4 drops Tabasco sauce (optional)
salt (optional)
pepper (optional)
corn chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the lettuce, beans, tomatoes, and corn in a clear glass bowl. Sprinkle green onions and cilantro on top.
  • Mash avocado in a separate bowl, and whisk in salsa, sour cream, and lime juice.
  • Season with hot sauce, if using, and salt and pepper.
  • Pour dressing over salad, toss well, and top with the crushed corn chips if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should give slightly to the touch.
  • Slice the avocado thinly: This will help the avocado absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing should complement the salad, not overpower it. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad: The salad should be light and airy. If you overcrowd it, the dressing won't be able to coat all of the ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The avocado will start to brown once it's cut, so it's best to serve the salad as soon as possible after you make it.

Conclusion:

Boston lettuce avocado salad with lime dressing is a refreshing and healthy salad that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover avocado. The salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. For example, you could add other vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes or cucumber, or you could use a different type of dressing. No matter how you make it, Boston lettuce avocado salad is sure to be a hit.
