Mango-Avocado Salad with Lime Dressing

Posted by Olivia on Fri, June 18, 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

1. 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.
2. 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.
