Beautiful & delicious! I made it for friends & it was a HUGE hit! I also cut back on the onions but kept both kinds b/c of how pretty the green tips & red slivers looked running throughout it. I’m also making it tomorrow with the tomatoes on the side b/c my daughter doesn’t eat them.
This was absolutely fantastic! I did half the avocado and twice the mangos, just because I had more mangos. The whole family loved it and ate it all up!
The vinaigrette was a hit with my guests. I used mixed greens as I think the variety adds flavour. I left the avocados out, I don’t like them, and I agreed with another review and only used the red onion. I thought it might be better with a bit of crunch, maybe celery or jicama.
This is a nice and light salad that is perfect for summer. I did feel that half of a red onion and 3 green onions was a bit much and that is coming from a huge onion fan. I say use one or the other and not both. Other than that I have no complaints. This was good and would be good with shrimp in it too.
