~ Avocado Mango & Pomegranate Salad ~
In our house, a meal is not a meal without a slice of avocado on the side! We eat a slice of avocado with our plates of rice and beans and even with our soups. It’s not always easy finding the perfectly ripe avocado but when I do find them, I buy quite a few and try to get a little creative with them. This week I got lucky when my local supermarket was literally handing them out for free so I decided to make a fresh avocado, mango and pomegranate salad I found in my William Sonoma latin inspired recipe book. Normally, I would have made it into a guacamole dip but I wanted it chunkier and easier to mix into a salad. This is probably my favorite summer salad as it can easily be used as a burger topping or spread on toast!
Ingredients:
3 ripe avocados
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Salt
1/4 small white onion
1 small serrano chile, seeded and minced
3 fresh cilantro stemmed and chopped
2 tablespoons diced mango
2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
1/2 small plum cored, seeded and finely diced
Directions:
Cut the avocados in half and remove pit.
Chop avocado, place in a bowl and mix with lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Stir in onion, chile, and cilantro. Taste and adjust lime and salt.
Scatter mango, pomegranate seeds, and tomatoes on top. Serve with tortilla chips, as a burger topping or on toast.

I recently started eating avocados and I really enjoy them. This salad looks delish.
I make something very similar as a topping for seafood. So, I know I would like this.
This looks amazing! I love anything with mango in it and while I had never thought to pair that with avocado, I am now dying to try the combo. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipes – sounds so refreshing and delish! I’m visiting my parents this week and my mom would be all over this…I’ll have to make some for our end of summer family get together!
Avocado is one of my weaknesses. I could add it to almost everything. This avocado salad sounds awesome!
That sounds delish! It’s funny because up until about a year ago, I hated avocados but then out of nowhere, I realized I loved them and I can’t get enough.
