Avocado and Mango Salad
10 min prep
5 min cook
4 serves
2.5 serves of veg
0.75 serves of fruit
  • 1 oakleaf lettuce  
  • 1 large avocado, peeled and diced  
  • 1 large mango, peeled and diced 
  • 2 tbsp slivered almonds  
  • 2 tbsp dried cranberries  
  • 1 tbsp olive oil  
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar  
  1. Toast the slivered almonds in a dry frypan or in the oven until lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly, so avoid stepping away.
  2. Tear the lettuce into smaller pieces, wash thoroughly, and add to a large salad bowl.
  3. Add the avocado, mango, toasted almonds, and cranberries to the salad bowl.
  4. To prepare the dressing, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar in a small jug.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serving Suggestion: Lettuce can be swapped for other salad leaves you may have on hand such as iceberg lettuce, mixed lettuce leaves or baby spinach.

Pair with your choice of protein such as tofu, chickpeas, chicken or fish.

Storage: This salad is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to prevent the ingredients from becoming soggy and the avocado from browning. For the best results, store the components separately and assemble just before eating.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help break up the lettuce, prepare the dressing, mix all the ingredients together in the salad bowl.
