Add the mint to the large bowl, then the avocados, mango, and dressing, reserving a tiny amount for later. Combine well, using your hands for best results.
Step 7: Garnish and serve
Arrange a few lettuce leaves onto a serving plate. Heap a generous serving of the salad on top and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Crown with a sprig of mint and serve.
