Avocado and Mango Salad

There’s nothing very complicated about this simple salad—the good taste of mango and avocado together is hard to overthink. From Mexico to Thailand, these two warm weather fruits often share a plate. The sweet, tangy, spicy zing of the equally uncomplicated dressing livens up the flavors and elevates a simple salad into a multi-layered indulgence.
