Instructions

  8. Toss Gently: Gently toss the salad with a spoon, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  9. Add Cilantro: Chop the fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the salad.
  10. Final Toss: Give the salad one final gentle toss to distribute the cilantro evenly.
  11. Serve or Chill: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mango and avocado to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Blueberries add a pop of color and antioxidants to the salad.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on sweetness preference.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be chilled for up to one hour before serving.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
