Prawn Mango Avocado Salad with Lime Dressing
….I happened to come across the most lovely and perfectly ripe Haden mangos recently from @sigonasfarmersmarket “They’re tree-ripened”. My husband wanted to keep eating mangos…haha. And while I know there are a lot of ways to enjoy mangos, this mango salad is my favorite. I’ve been making this salad for a long time and it never disappoints. For this salad, fresh cubed mango combine with prawn, avocado, arugula and orzo with lime dressing. The dressing is bright and fresh with lots of lime juice. Mango salad makes a great salad on its own. You can fully taste the taste of each ingredient, because the lime dressing is very light. If you want it to taste more sour, you can add more lime juice in it. Well my husband took some leftover mango salad in the lunch box today. I guess he wanted to eat a lot with mangos. Being able to eat whatever you want when you want is a small happiness…..This recipe is from @recipe_tin.
