A refreshing and vibrant salad combining creamy avocado, sweet mango, and peppery arugula, topped with a zesty lime vinaigrette.
Prepare the dressing by combining champagne vinegar, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, chopped cilantro, and finely diced red chili pepper in a jar. Close the lid tightly and shake until well mixed.
Shaking the dressing in a jar ensures it emulsifies properly, creating a smooth and well-blended vinaigrette.
Slice the red onion thinly and soak in warm water with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice for 10 minutes to mellow its flavor.
Soaking the onion in lime water reduces its sharpness, making it more palatable in the salad.
Drain and rinse the onion slices, then set them aside.
Rinsing removes excess salt and lime, leaving the onion with a subtle tang.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the arugula with half of the prepared vinaigrette.
Adding the dressing gradually ensures the greens are evenly coated without becoming soggy.
Add sliced mango, avocado, and the prepared onion to the arugula. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the top.
Arrange the ingredients attractively for a visually appealing presentation.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy its fresh and vibrant flavors.
Serving the salad promptly ensures the ingredients retain their freshness and texture.
