Quick Summer Meals ~ Avocado Mango Salad

A chef friend sourced and gifted me some hard to find produce (in Vizag) like broccoli, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, basil and parsley.

Prepared a simple, colorful and flavorful salad using avocado and ripe mango for lunch today. Refreshing with combination of textures – both avocado and mango being creamy, and lettuce providing a bit of crunch, the salad has a mingling of savory and sweet flavors. Perfect hot weather salad that is simply outstanding. One of the best refreshing salads I have had in recent times.
