Avocado Mango Salad with Arugula, Pine Nuts, and Honey-Lime Dressing

Peeled mango chunks and avocado slices are tossed together with arugula, sliced red onion, and toasted pine nuts, in a homemade honey-lime salad dressing. This healthy salad takes only 15 minutes to make and is perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 oz arugula
  • 1 mango, ripe, peeled, pit removed, diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 avocado, peeled, cored, and diced
  • ¼ cup red onions, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium, high-sided bowl, or in a mason jar, combine together lime juice, olive oil, and honey. Whisk with the fork until emulsified.
  2. In a large serving bowl, combine arugula, diced mango, diced avocado, and red onions.
  3. Drizzle with the salad dressing (you don't have to use the whole amount) and toss to combine. Top with pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Notes

Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden for maximum flavor. Use ripe but firm mango and avocado to prevent mushiness. This salad is best served immediately after assembling.
