Absolutely loved this salad and made it this week on www.sparrowsandspatulas.blogspot.com-- but there is a typo here-- mangoes should be cut in 1/4 inch cubes, not 14 inch cubes. It was delicious and refreshing. I'll be making it again and again!
Saladu Awooka àk Mango (Avocado–Mango Salad)
The creamy avocado, sweet mango, and bright citrus in this salad make a refreshing counterpoint to Senegal's rich and savory stews. This recipe first appeared in our May 2012 issue along with John O'Connor's story A Feast For All.

Thanks BSTEPELM! Glad you liked it, and we've fixed the typo here: The mangoes should be cut into 1/4 inch cubes.
I used Cilantro in place of the Parsley Delicious!!
Wonderful salad and I think the coconut is a must. It enhances the subtle peanut flavor from the oil and makes the dish more complex.
loved the salad and it keeps for several days. watch amount of liquid OR IT GETS SOUPY.
This is a great salad and very easy to make ahead of time. Will use the peanut oil when I make it again to see what the difference is. My husband doesn't like coconut, but I sprinkled some on my serving after dishing it up. Very yummy.
This is a very refreshing salad; I particularly like it to accompany pork. I have tried it with and without coconut. My preference is to leave it out; I find the texture of the coconut contrasts unpleasantly with the creamy avocado and succulent mango.
