Mango, Strawberry, and Avocado Arugula Salad
Updated March 26, 2019
Mango, Strawberry, and Avocado Arugula Salad-this bright and fresh salad is simple to make and perfect for summertime!
I have a new favorite salad and I am so excited to share the recipe with you. This Mango, Strawberry, and Avocado Arugula Salad is my latest obsession. I have been eating it almost every day. I can’t get enough. Not only is the salad gorgeous, but it is easy to make and every bite will bring a smile to your face. This salad is a must make for summertime!
I love adding fruits to my salad greens. They make the salads pretty and add the perfect amount of sweetness. For this salad I use arugula and top it with ripe strawberry and mango slices. The red and yellow colors make this salad pop! It is almost too pretty to eat:)
I also add slices of avocado, because adding avocado is always a good idea. The creamy avocado slices go nicely with the juicy strawberries and mango!
To finish the salad off, I add red onion and a simple cilantro lime dressing for flavor. All of the ingredients come together to create one amazing and beautiful salad.
This Mango, Strawberry, and Avocado Arugula Salad is light, fresh, and delicious. It makes a great healthy lunch or dinner. It has been too hot to eat anything cooked so this salad has been my “go to” meal. You can also serve it along side any summer meal. Happy summer salad eating!

I’m a huge fan of arugula salads and this looks like another one I’d love. That dressing sounds like it would be amazing on so many things!
One of my favorite restaurant salads has avocado and strawberries…but I am totally in love with that mango addition. Mangoes are my husbands fav, so maybe he will actually eat some greens for once! Pinned 🙂
I’m always looking for ways to use all the arugula I grow because all by its lonesome, it’s too bitter tasting for me. Plus the strawberries will sweeten it up a bit.
I love pretty food, makes me feel so dainty. (and then I’ll go out and eat a triple cheeseburger and lose that sense………..oh well.)
The colors are so bright and beautiful -it’s like summer in a bowl! Can’t wait to try.
This salad looks prefect for summer!
This looks like summer! Perfect!
I love the added fruits! They must go well with the salad!
Love these gorgeous colors! Mangos are one of my favorite fruits ~ I love the combination of the sweet fruit with the peppery arugula!
Perfect Summer salad!!
All my favorite things in one awesome salad!
Maria, this is so very lovely. I’m excited for our local strawberries!
Strawberries just started here so I will be eating them daily!! Love this!
beautiful salad Maria!!
What other dressing do you think would work well on this salad? Balsamic perhaps?
Oooooohhhhh….I know what I am having for lunch today! Lovely!
What a beautiful looking salad!
Beautiful summer salad Maria!
I’m going to need one of these salads today! So beautiful!
So bright and fresh, I love it!
This combination looks so so good and refreshing!
Such a beautiful mixture of colors and flavors. YUM!
I, too, love fruits in my greens. And arugula is such a nice contrast with the sweetness of the fruit. I will definitely be making this salad. Just one question……. wondering about the garlic in the dressing…… Is it a minced clove of garlic or powdered garlic?
Thank you for sharing the delightful recipe. 🙂
I updated the recipe! Sorry about that! It is minced clove of garlic!
Hi!!! I just found your blog :)! It’s so nice and this salad looks so fresh and colorful :)! I live in Sydney and down here it is winter time. I think I won’t find mangoes, but avocados, argula and strawberries are nice even in winter time, so I’ll trry to make it :)! What do you think could I use tinstead of mango? Maybe figs with a balsamic vinegar dressing then:)? How does that sound to you?
Also, I just opened my little food blog. If you could find the time to come and say hallo I’d be glad! And any advice is more than welcome too :)!

All of my favorite ingredients. You had me at mango 🙂 Beautiful Salad!
Looks awesome – my kind of salad!
In my opinion, nothing goes together better than strawberries & avocados!
I totally agree with all the positive comments about this gorgeous salad, and I must admit the prep time of only 10 minutes is also very enticing – thanks guys!
Love the avocado, strawberry and mango combo here!
Colorful and delicious! Want!
I’m loving salads this summer. This one looks beautiful and has all my favorite ingredients. I swear I’m part avocado!

That looks like a delicious recipe! I love any recipe that doesn’t require cooking because I don’t have to spend a long time at the kitchen and I still get the health benefits. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I agree that adding fruits to salads are a nice way to add natural sweetening. And I also love that cilantro flavor mixed in to the salad for an extra layer of taste. Cheers!
I made this salad tonight and it was delicious! The sweet fruit, creamy avocado, and peppery arugula… And the dressing! The dressing honestly made this salad! Thanks for another great recipe. 🙂
