A true West Indian–style meal requires something to cool off the palate, according to actor and cookbook author Ayesha Curry. This salad, with its balance of creamy avocado and sweet ripe mango, accomplishes just that. Blood oranges add gorgeous color, but you can substitute Cara Cara or Valencia oranges.
