As we head towards summer, I am looking forward to sharing more salads and grilling recipes. Not that I am sick of soups and stews, but in Seattle, it seems like it is “soup weather” all but a couple of months out of the year. After a long winter of avoiding the wilted and long-traveled lettuces at the grocery store, I now have steady supply of vibrant, fresh greens from either the garden or farmer’s market. I am a true salad lover, and nothing makes me so happy as a fresh greens!
My roommate Jane came up with this beautiful tropical salad for a BBQ we had at our house last weekend. The salty cinnamon-lime dressing pairs perfectly with the mango and coconut. It is more on the sweet side than an everyday salad, but it is definitely a crowd pleaser. It would be a perfect addition to a potluck or for a summer BBQ.
- For the Salad:
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 2 small mangoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ cucumber, chopped
- ½ cup thick coconut flakes
- 1-2 avocadoes, cut into large chunks
- For the Cinnamon-Lime Dressing:
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ginger powder
- Place all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl except for the coconut chips and avocado.
- Place all of the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add to the salad and toss to combine. Garnish with coconut flakes and avocado chunks.

What would be a good substitute for avocados?
Hi Shelley! In a recipe like this, I just recommend leaving them out.
