Instructions

Wash and prepare all the fresh produce. Dice the avocados and mangoes into bite-sized cubes. Slice the red onion thinly, and chop the red bell pepper, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Place all prepared salad ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lime dressing evenly over the salad. Toss gently with a spatula or wooden spoon to coat all ingredients without crushing the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lime, if desired.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or over mixed greens. Optionally, chill for 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavors.

Notes

Add black beans, corn, or grilled chicken for extra protein.
Prepare the dressing ahead of time to save time before serving.
Toss avocado pieces in lime juice to prevent browning.
