Tips for the Best Mango Avocado Summer Salad
Chop the rocket: This ensures it blends nicely with the risoni or other grains. Large leafy greens can overwhelm the salad and overshadow the other ingredients.
Cool the risoni/orzo: Allow the risoni to cool to room temperature before mixing it with the salad ingredients. This helps preserve the salad's texture and freshness.
Use ripe mango and avocado: They’re the stars of the dish, so pick ones that are ripe for the best flavour.
Directions
- Shake the dressing ingredients in a jar.
- Cook risoni/orzo according to package directions. Cool to room temperature.
- Place all salad Ingredients in a bowl, pour over dressing. Toss gently. Serve immediately.
