Avocado Mango Salad:
- 2 ripe avocados (diced)
- 2 ripe mangoes (diced)
- 1/2 small red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or chill for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
