2 ripe avocados, diced
2 cups arugula or mixed greens
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds

Instructions
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula (or mixed greens), diced mangoes, diced avocados, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.
Gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional lime juice, salt, or chili flakes if desired.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
Tips
Choose mangoes that are ripe but still slightly firm so they hold their shape.
Add the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
For extra flavor, sprinkle with toasted nuts or seeds for a delicious crunch.
