Mango-Avocado Salad with Lime Dressing

Posted by Olivia on Tue, June 22, 2010

What better way to welcome warm weather than this luscious, flavorful salad? I love it with light, crispy tofu, but it's also delicious with grilled fish, chicken or prawns.

Ingredients

2 ripe mangos, diced

2 ripe avocado, diced

4 carrots, peeled and shredded

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

4 scallions, sliced

1 red onion, diced

1 small bunch fresh mint, chopped

8 oz. tofu, cubed

2 tbsp Delicate Extra Virgin Olive Oil, such as Arbequina

1 fresh lime, juiced

2 tbsp Lime Olive Oil

2 tsp sugar, honey or agave nectar

1/4 cup roasted peanuts, crushed

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat  Delicate Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a medium frying pan over high heat. Fry tofu for 2-3 minutes on 2 sides until crisp and brown. Drain on paper towels.

Whisk together lime juice, Lime Olive Oil, sugar/honey and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. In a salad bowl, toss together avocado, mango, carrots, onions, scallions, tomatoes, and mint. Toss with dressing and transfer to a serving bowl or platter
