Ingredients

Scale

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Salad

  • 5 oz arugula
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled, pit removed, diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 avocado, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a medium, high-sided bowl or a mason jar, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, and honey. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the mixture is fully emulsified and well blended.
  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large serving bowl, add the arugula, diced mango, diced avocado, and thinly sliced red onions. Gently toss to combine the ingredients evenly without mashing the avocado.
  3. Add Dressing and Finish: Drizzle the prepared lime-honey dressing over the salad. Toss gently again to coat all the ingredients with the dressing. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts on top as a crunchy garnish. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Use ripe but firm mango and avocado to maintain good texture in the salad.
  • This salad is best served fresh to avoid the avocado browning.
  • Optional: add fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for added freshness.
