A true West Indian–style meal requires something to cool off the palate, according to actor and cookbook author Ayesha Curry. This salad, with its balance of creamy avocado and sweet ripe mango, accomplishes just that. Blood oranges add gorgeous color, but you can substitute Cara Cara or Valencia oranges.

  • Not a new recipe… I have been making this for years but it is very yummy! My question is why feature out of season fruit? June and July is big mango time with delicious and out of this world tart/sweet. They are expensive in Dec and not so great. Like a winter tomato.
