Avocados are extremely healthy and inexpensive. This power packed salad explodes with nutrients and taste!

2 ripe Fresh California Avocados, chilled, halved, seeded and peeled

2 mangos, chilled, halved, seeded and peeled

Cayenne pepper, to taste

Salt, to taste

¾ Cup plain low-fat yogurt (Greek-style preferred)

2 large limes, juiced

3 Tbsp honey

4 mint sprigs, for garnish

1. Slice avocado and mango halves lengthwise in 1/2-inch slices. Arrange the fruit on individual salad plates, alternating the avocado and mango slices. Mix equal parts cayenne pepper and salt and lightly sprinkle over fruit slices, to taste.

2.  Whisk together yogurt, lime juice and honey in a small bowl. Just before serving, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of dressing in a stripe over each salad. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve immediately.

3. Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
