Spring is on it's way and that means fresh, light flavors. And to celebrate the season, I decided to try out some sort of tropical salad of sorts. You can eat it on it's own or atop a fresh arugula salad or whatever you want! Its delicious! Try it out!


What you need:
-1 mango, peeled, and sliced, 1/4 inch thick
-2 grapefruits, sectioned
-1 avocado, sliced thin
-1/3 red onion. sliced thin
-1/2 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced thin
-1 Serrano Chile, finely chopped
-2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
-1 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped
-The juice of 1 lime
-5 tsp olive oil
-1 1/2 tsp agave nectar
-1/2 tsp dijon mustard
-Pinch of black pepper
-Toasted Cashews


  1. Prep all fruits and vegetables except avocado and place in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl combine, cilantro, mint, lime juice, olive oil, agave nectar, dijon mustard, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Slice avocado and add to bowl with the rest of the fruit and veggies.
  4. Pour dressing over salad, toss to coat, and top with toasted cashews.
  5. Enjoy!
