  • Use ripe mangoes and avocados. This will ensure that the salad is sweet, creamy, and flavorful.

  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of olive oil and lemon juice is all you need to enhance the flavors of the fruit and cheese.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the fruit from getting soggy and the feta cheese from becoming too salty.
