DESCRIPTION

Refreshing mango cucumber salad is the best for the summer days. It's sweet, sour, zesty, and incredibly easy to whip up in just less than 15 minutes. Featuring juicy mangoes, cucumbers, red onions, bell peppers with a sweet and tangy vinaigrette. Super vibrant and healthy!

INGREDIENTS
  

Salad

  • 2 whole mango cub cut
  • 2 whole cucumber (mini) thinly sliced
  • ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup red pepper pepper diced
  • 1 cup cilantro (loosely packed) chopped
  • 2 tablespoon scallion thinly sliced (optional)

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper

METHOD
 

  • Slice or dice the mango, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and green onions into bite size pieces. Also, chop the cilantro leaves to your preferred texture. Add everything to a bowl and set it aside while you make the dressing.
  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing.
    Note: You can also shake them all together in a sealed mason jar.
  • Pour the dressing over the mango cucumber salad and toss together.
  • Drizzle with more crushed black pepper before serving.
    Optional: Garnish with chopped scallions.

NOTES

    • Choose the right mango: Remember, your mango should be ripe but still firm enough to hold up in the salad.
    • Seed the cucumber: If your cucumber has particularly large seeds, it’s best to remove them before making the salad.
    • Uniform sizes: Make sure the ingredients are cut into equal bite size pieces for a better eating experience.
    • Chill the salad first: Let the salad chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving, since it tastes best when cold.
