Mango Avocado Kale Salad with Mango Tamarind Dressing
This recipe reminds me of summer and mangos are still available .. in case you can’t find them, substitute any seasonal fruit like an apple or pear… it will be delicious!

- 1 avocado, cut into ½ inch squares

Transfer all the ingredients to a serving bowl.
Dressing
- 1/3 cup mango juice
- 2 teaspoons tamarind concentrate

Add the mango juice, tamarind, lime juice, cumin, cayenne, honey, salt and oil to a air tight container with the lid on. Shake really well and taste for seasonings. Pour over the veggies, toss well and serve.
