MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE



Mango-Avocado Salad With Lime Vinaigrette image

Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 limes)
1/4 cup minced shallot
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 large head Boston or butter lettuce (1 pound), trimmed and leaves torn into large pieces
2 ripe mangoes, sliced or cubed
8 ounces snap peas, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 ripe avocados, sliced or cubed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine oil, lime juice, shallot, fish sauce, sugar and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended, then stir in half of the cilantro. Reserve half of the dressing in a small bowl for serving.

  • Arrange salad over lettuce and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve with the reserved dressing on the side, for drizzling.
