It is starting to warm up a bit here in the DC area, and this recipe is light and refreshing on a warm summer day.

I actually came up with it, because I had some super ripe mangos and over ripe avocados on hand, that had to be used. 

TROPICAL SALAD

Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangos
• 2 ripe tomatoes 
• 2-3 cucumbers (depends on size)
• handful of parsley or cilantro whichever you have on hand.
• 1 small red onion

Chop everything small and mix in large bowl.

VINAIGRETTE 

Ingredients 

• 1/4 a cup of rice vinegar 
• 1/4 a cup of white wine vinegar 
• 1/4 a cup of olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard 
• shallots 

Pour everything in a bowl and whisk together or place everything in jar and shake. Once mixed pour on salad and mix everything. 

TROPICAL SALAD STUFFED AVOCADO 

Now it’s time to assemble your avocado and stuff it with the tropical salad. 

Cut avocado in half, remove put, place a couple of spoonfuls of tropical salad in the hole where the pit was and on the top of the avocado. Sprinkle sea salt and red pepper flakes. 

Enjoy!
