Mango Avocado Salad Recipe

Creamy avocado, fresh mango, strawberries, and papaya, all mixed in a sweet and zesty honey lime dressing, this mango avocado salad has the perfect balance of flavors and is super easy to make. 

One of my favorite side dishes to whip together throughout the spring and summer months, this absolutely delicious fruit salad comes packed with a lovely medley of flavors, vitamin C, healthy fats, and all other sorts of goodness. Perfect for special occasions and average weeknight dinners, it’s fantastic with your favorite protein like chicken or fish or as an accompaniment to tacos and rice dishes. If you love a good fruit salad, this recipe is a total winner.

How to Make Mango Avocado Salad

Combine the fresh lime juice and honey in a small bowl until combined. Gently toss the lime juice and honey with the chopped papaya, strawberries, and mango, waiting to add the avocado until just before serving. 

If you enjoy a little spicy heat, sprinkle with a dash of chili pepper or cayenne pepper just before serving.

Recipes to Serve with Mango Avocado Fruit Salad

Serve this mango avocado salad as an appetizer, snack, or as an incredibly versatile side dish. Some of my favorite recipes to serve alongside this dish include:

  • Baked Salmon with Lemon Butter
  • Marinated Skirt Steak
  • Hamburgers or Turkey Burgers
  • Hawaiian Chicken
  • Macaroni Salad and Easy Creamy Potato Salad
  • Pulled Pork

Storage 

Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The avocado may start to brown, and the papaya may soften, but it should otherwise still taste delicious.
