My youngest wasand is  a mango maniac. All he really wanted was mango. For christmas, for his birthday, for a reward, mango mango mango, I almost called this salad mango madness, because of his mango obsession. 

 
Ingredients
  • 1 ripe and juice mango
  • 1 ripe and yummie avocado
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 red onion
  • 3 handfuls of baby arugula, or lettuce of choice
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, or nuts of choice
  • black sesame seeds
  • dressing:
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or fish sauce (because again we will use MORE lime – or vinegar – than soy)
  • nice squeeze of agave, don’t be shy, let’s call it 2 tablespoons
  • sprinkling of red chili flakes
  • 1/8 cup of toasted sesame seed oil
  • Cut mango, avocado, and cherry tomatoes in any shape you like, i personally prefer equal size shapes, then cut the red onions into a pretty small dice.
Instructions
  1. Whisk together your dressing ingredients, taste, ask yourself, does it need a sprinkling of good salt or more lime juice?
  2. Then pour the dressing over the chopped fruit/s, place your arugula on a plate, pour dressed fruits over, garnish with peanuts and sesame seeds. Don’t be shy.
