👨🍳Instructions
Prepare all fresh ingredients by washing the greens, dicing the mango, slicing the avocado, shaving cucumber ribbons, and thinly slicing the red onion.
💡Tip: Slice avocado just before assembling to keep it fresh and green.
In a small bowl, whisk together baobab powder, olive oil, honey, lime juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
💡Tip: Add a splash of water if the dressing is too thick.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, mango, cucumber ribbons, red onion, and half of the pomegranate seeds.
💡Tip: Toss gently to avoid bruising delicate greens.
Drizzle the baobab-lime dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat everything evenly.
💡Tip: Dress the salad right before serving for maximum freshness.
Top with avocado slices, plantain chips, remaining pomegranate seeds, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
💡Tip: Add the plantain chips last to keep them crispy.
