Pro Tip:
If you are going to save some of this salad to eat the following day make sure to store the salad mix and greens separate from the chopped mango, veggies, panchit noodles and dressing. That way you do not have a soggy mess waiting for you the next day.
I get asked a lot if these ingredients can only be found at specific markets and the answer is No! Many of these ingredients can be found at your local grocery store, there is no need to run out to a specialty Asian market. Thai basil can be a bit hard to find but can be substituted with sweet basil without changing too much of the flavor profile.
Love flavorful salads like I do? Then this Thai Mango Avocado Salad is a must try on your summer meal prep menu.
Enjoy!

Yum! I’m with you on it being too hot to turn on the oven. Granted I’m in the northeast so it’s more a humid heat than you have. I love Thai salads like this when it is too hot to cook.
Jillian says
Thanks Jenna! Yes, the humidity is a killer currently! This is my go to salad currently it is so good the mixture of flavors is amazing with the mint and basil. Plus with added grilled chicken it is a complete meal!

Hi Jillian! About 3 months ago I went vegan and eat salad every day…I’m always looking to mix things up! I’m super excited to try this salad :-). I’m not a big fan of spicy things, so how would you suggest I make the dressing as mild as possible? Less chili oil and/or chili paste? Thanks in advance!
Jillian says
Hi Laura! That is so great, how is it eating purely vegan? To make the sauce less spicy I would substitute the chili oil for sesame oil and cut the chili past in half. Let me know how it turns out for you! I am obsessed with this salad right now and am making a big batch for lunches this week!
