A vibrant, tropical delight that combines the juicy sweetness of ripe mangoes with the crispness of cucumbers. Perfect for hot days, barbecues, or any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups fresh cucumbers, diced (about 2 medium cucumbers)
1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed is best)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Set aside and let the flavors meld while you prepare the salad.
Next, wash and chop your cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the mango and cut it into small cubes.
Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, mango, bell pepper, onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
