Mango Avocado and Cucumber Salad : Healthy and Flavourful Summer Salad

Thanks to ongoing heat wave in North India,
mango season is extended this year. Usually mangoes stop being visible on the shelves
with the arrival of monsoon, but this year most of the varieties of mangoes are still showing
up for sale in the market.

I am not a great fan of mangoes, I know some people may find it surprizing ( who does not love mango ) but at the same time I like to enjoy mangoes
few times in the season. They are delicious by themselves but nothing
like when you combine sweet and salty flavours in a salad.

Salads are another thing to make when its summer, Yes! for
me, summer and salad just go together… At the same times chances are always there that you end up making same types
of salad day after day. So a salad like this, is good enough to wake up your taste
buds. Sweet and sour mango does a good job to takes it to just another level, that
a light dressing also tastes delicious. In fact only light dressing should be
right for this kind of salads which is already bursting with flavours.

Most of the times when using salad greens
like lettuce or rocket leaves, people tend to go for heavier flavours of
dressings but adding a slice fruit adds a different dimensions to otherwise
bland salad ingredients like cucumber and greens. Generally we serve it as a
side of otherwise heavy or rich dish. This time it was served as light dinner
to go with these sabudana vada fired
ones for kiddos and grilled sabudana vada for me and hubs.

Interesting sweet and sour flavors. While its’ not really raining in Bangalore, it’s been pretty cool from a few days. I have moved on to hearty soups from salads. Enjoy the summer while it lasts…
