Directions

✓ researched
  1. 1

    Peel, pit, and cut 2 ripe avocados and 1 ripe mango into bite-sized cubes.

    ⏱️ approx. 8 min

    💡 Tip: Avocado-mango salad is tropical, fresh, and creamy all at once — the sweetness of the mango meets the creaminess of the avocado. Popular in Mexico and Latin America.

  2. 2

    Place the avocado and mango in a bowl and drizzle with 3 tbsp lime juice to keep the avocado green and give everything a fresh note.

    ⏱️ approx. 5 min

    💡 Tip: The lime juice keeps the avocado bright and adds acidity to balance the sweetness. Toss gently to avoid mashing.

  3. 3

    Chop 20 g of cilantro and fold in. Season with salt (and a little chili if desired) and serve cold.

    ⏱️ approx. 5 min

    💡 Tip: The cilantro adds freshness, and a touch of chili gives a pleasant heat. Serve immediately to keep the salad at its best.

📜 Origin & History

Ensalada de Aguacate y Mango (English: Avocado and Mango Salad; Colombian Spanish: Ensalada de aguacate y mango) is a Colombian fresh dish: ripe Hass avocados (Persea americana) and sweet mangoes (Mangifera indica) are combined with red onions, coriander, lime juice, and olive oil into a tropical, aromatic salad. Colombia is one of the world's largest avocado producers: the regions of Antioquia, Tolima, and Valle del Cauca produce Hass avocados in large quantities for export to Europe. Mango (Mangifera indica) is grown in Colombia's tropical lowlands (Magdalena, Tolima, Huila): Colombia produces over 20 mango varieties. The combination of avocado and mango is characteristic of Nueva Cocina Colombiana: top chefs celebrate tropical fruits in modern salad dishes. In Germany, avocados and mangoes are available in supermarkets.
