Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Peel and dice the avocados and mango. Dice the cucumber and finely chop the red onion and cilantro, preparing all fresh components of the salad.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined to create a light, tangy dressing.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the diced avocados, mango, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro ensuring even distribution of all ingredients.

- This salad is best served fresh to preserve the vibrant colors and textures.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
