Mango + Avocado African Salad Recipe

This is SO FRESH + DELICIOUS.

If you can get your avocado 🥑 perfectly ripe to a creamy consistency this almost becomes a fruit pudding.

And… the added doTERRA eos + fresh lime juice not only adds awesome flavor but they help it keep from turning brown. (Example: This photo is from day two of creation.)

One more thing. Burlap + Barrel spices… get them! Their sourcing has the same heart + mind of doTERRA’s sourcing standard.

•straight to the source
•where it grows best
•changing lives

No, I am not affiliated with them, just LOVE everything I’ve gotten from them so far. Trust me, they don’t disappoint.

Let me know if you decide to whip a version of this up + let me know how it turns out. This isn’t a precise type of recipe - we’ll call it a creative blending of fruits.

We have found the yummiest, freshest, and equitably sourced spices. Just like our favorite essential oils brand, this spice company searches the globe to find the BEST in the region, where they grow naturally + they support the local farmers first-hand. They serve those producing the herbs + spices, and they serve you by providing the best spices we have found out there yet.

Burlap + Barrel, WE absolutely LOVE YOU!

Here is a BIG reason why:

As they say on their website: “Most spice supply chains are completely opaque; where the spices came from, who grew them, and how they were grown is usually a mystery. That’s not by accident - the systems we live with today are legacies of the colonial spice trade, which was designed to disenfranchise farmers and shortchange consumers.

We're replacing those broken systems with equitable sourcing, direct supply chains, and mutually-supportive relationships with our partner farmers. It's not only better for our partner farmers and our world; it also makes for much fresher, more flavorful spices. You can tell that our spices were grown with immense expertise and care as soon as you crack open the jar.”

We don’t get any kickbacks for saying any of this. We simply FELL in LOVE with their product + believe in their mission. So naturally, we want to support them + share the good news. Try them. You won’t regret it.

Some of our PRODUCT FAVES (however we LOVE them all) is:

  • Wild Icelandic Kelp

  • Smoked Paprika

  • Turkish Oregano Buds

  • Cloud Forest Cardamom Seeds

  • Fermented White Pepper

  • Cinnamon Tree Leaves

Over the next few months, we will be sharing allllllll the recipes we have whipped up with them so far. They have some great ideas on their website as well. Let us know when you try them out + what you use the most.

Be well,
