Featuring ripe avocados, juicy mangos, and crisp cucumbers, topped with a sweet lime vinaigrette, it’s vibrant in both looks and flavor. Like my tomato caprese, this dish is a failsafe option if you’re serving kids, too. And for good reason, it’s basically sunshine in a bowl.

Red onion: For a subtle, peppery flavor.
Dressing: Olive oil, fresh lime juice, maple syrup, fresh mint, sea salt, and pepper.

Tips for Success

Top the salad with the dressing right away, even if serving later. The acidity from the lime juice will keep the avocado looking fresh.
Dice the avocado, mango, and cucumber into similar-sized pieces.
Finely chop the red onion so it won’t overpower the remaining ingredients.

Possible Variations

Avocado: Use radish, fennel, peppers, gem lettuce, or arugula.
Mango: Swap for peach, tomato, pomegranate, pear, grapefruit, or apple.
Cucumber: Peel the cucumber if you prefer. Or use watermelon or cantaloupe.
Mint: Parsley, dill, cilantro, or basil. Mix and match or swap out the mint.
Lime: Or lemon juice.
Add-ins: Add your favorite nuts, seeds, caramelized onions, chickpeas, feta, chili, jalapeño, lemon zest, or croutons.

FAQs

Can I prepare this avocado cucumber salad in advance?

Yes, you can make the salad a few hours ahead. Dress the salad right away so the lime juice will prevent the avocado from browning.

Kids will always like different things, but this is a popular side with our kids due to the simple ingredients and the sweet, creamy combination this salad offers.
