- 2 medium mangoes diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup shelled edamame thawed (optional)
- 1 cup diced strawberries (about 9 ounces)
- 1 medium avocado diced
- 3 tablespoons finely diced red onion (about one-half small onion)
- 1 medium jalapeño seeded and finely diced
- ¼ cup thinly sliced basil leaves (chiffonade)
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or neutral flavored oil
- Zest of 1 lime
- ¼ cup lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- Tortilla chips for serving (optional)
Mix: Add the mangoes, edamame, strawberries, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, basil, and cilantro to a large bowl.
Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the sesame oil, lime zest and juice, maple syrup, and salt to taste.
Combine: Add the lime dressing to the salad. Mix gently until fully incorporated.
- Mangoes: Ataulfo or Champagne are best suited for this recipe, but most types will work.
- Do not use overly ripe fruit or avocado or the salad will be mushy.
- For non-spicy, omit the jalapeño.
- For oil-free, omit the sesame oil.
- Chop the fruit evenly into small pieces to ensure a bit of everything ends up on your chip!
- Finely chop the onion and jalapeño so they don't overpower the dish.
- If you plan on having leftovers, add the avocado to the served portion only, and refrigerate the remaining salad without avocado in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
