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

Healthy, refreshing, and colorful salad made with arugula, diced mango, avocado, red onion, toasted pine nuts, and a simple honey-lime dressing. Perfect for summer picnics, potlucks, BBQs, or as a side with grilled meats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 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

Instructions

  1. In a medium, high-sided bowl or mason jar, combine lime juice, olive oil, and honey. Whisk with a fork until emulsified.
  2. In a large serving bowl, combine arugula, diced mango, diced avocado, and thinly sliced red onions.
  3. Drizzle with the salad dressing (use as much as desired) and toss to combine. Top with toasted pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Use ripe but firm mango and avocado to prevent mushiness. Dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
