  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

  2. Mix together the avocado, mango, lime juice, ground ginger, and wasabi powder in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to serve.
