Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the arugula thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit, then pat it dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl.
- Peel the mango using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife.
- Carefully cut the mango flesh off the pit, then cut the mango into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the mango cubes to the salad bowl with the arugula.
- Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry.
- Remove the green tops (hulls), then slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Add the sliced strawberries to the salad bowl.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh using a spoon.
- Cut the avocado flesh into slices.
- Gently place the avocado slices in the salad bowl to avoid mashing them.
- Peel the red onion and slice it into thin strips.
- Scatter the sliced red onion over the other ingredients in the salad bowl.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine them well. Be careful not to mash the avocado.
- Serve the salad immediately, either on its own or alongside your favorite main dish.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm mango and strawberries to ensure the best flavor and texture. Overripe fruits can make the salad too mushy.
- Toss the arugula gently with the other ingredients to avoid bruising the delicate leaves.
- Consider adding a light vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
- For added crunch, sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds on top, such as almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
- Serve the salad immediately after preparation to enjoy the freshest flavors and best texture.
