Avocado Fruit Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette

This healthy salad takes just a few minutes to prepare. It is full of healthy ingredients and tastes light and bright. I whipped up a cranberry vinaigrette for it, but it really doesn’t need a dressing. The fruit is juicy enough.
For convenience, I used a spring mix in a bag for the lettuce. However, you can omit the lettuce if you’re not a fan. It really has enough flavors and textures going out without the lettuce. Alternately, you can drizzle balsamic reduction or date syrup over it. Both pair wonderfully with the salad.
This makes a great lunch salad. Furthermore, you can add chicken or shrimp, crusty bread, and a glass of your favorite wine. It’s hearty enough for dinner. Therefore, you won’t raid the fridge at 2 o’clock.😉

Healthy

Avocados are nutrient-dense. They have 20 essential nutrients including fiber, potassium, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, and folic acid. Also, avocados contain both monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats or ‘good’ heart-healthy fats.

Fill free to customize the salad to your liking or with fruit that’s in season and available in your area.

As well, instead of blue cheese, you can use feta cheese or goat cheese.

    I love Avocados and mangos but I never thought of eating them together. And as luck would have it, I just bought mangos and avocados today! I will have to try this. I found you from I should be Mopping Mondays.
