| Ingredients: |
| 1 Ripe Mango |
| 1 small Avocado |
| 1/4 cup finely chopped Onion, optional |
| 2 tablespoons finely chopped Cilantro (coriander leaves), optional |
| 1 tablespoon Lime Juice (or lemon juice) |
| 1 tablespoon Olive Oil |
| A pinch of Black Pepper Powder (or Red Chilli Flakes) |
| Salt to taste |
Directions:
- Peel, pit and cut mango into small cubes. Peel and halve avocado and remove the stone. Dice it into small cubes.
- Take cubed mango and avocado into a large bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro (coriander leaves), 1 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon juice), 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and salt.
- Toss gently or mix gently using two spoons. Avocado mango salad with cilantro is ready for serving. Serve it immediately on it’s own or with chips.
- Serve it as a bhel (an Indian style popular street food), add 1 cup mamra (puffed rice) and 1/2 cup sev to the salad and mix well.
Tips and Variations:
- For variation, add black beans (canned or boiled), chopped lettuce and tomato.
- Don’t skip adding lime juice (or lemon juice) as it prevents avocado from turning brown.
Taste: Mild sweet, salty and tangy
