# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its the ultimate no-cook solution when turning on the stove feels impossible
  • The combination of creamy avocado against sweet mango creates something restaurant worthy in minutes
02 -
  • Dress the salad right before serving otherwise the salt draws moisture out of the vegetables and you end up with a puddle at the bottom of the bowl
  • If you need to make this ahead, prep everything and keep the dressing separate then toss it together no more than 15 minutes before eating
03 -
  • Chill your serving bowls for 10 minutes before plating the salad stays cooler longer in summer heat
  • Use the sharpest knife you have for clean cuts through the mango and avocado without mashing them
