- 1 large mango
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips and grate the carrot. Finely dice the red onion.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
To prepare the mango dressing, peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit. Blend the mango in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Juice the lime and add it to the blender with the mango. Add the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until fully combined and emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, grated carrot, and red onion.
Pour the mango dressing over the salad and toss well to coat everything evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top as a garnish.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
