Description
A bright and crisp salad combining sweet ripe mango, cool cucumber, and crunchy red pepper, balanced with lime and cilantro for a refreshing side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 2 limes
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Peel and dice the mangoes into bite-size pieces. Dice the cucumber and red bell pepper. Thinly slice the red onion. Chop the cilantro. Place all prepared ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the juice of 2 limes over the mango, cucumber, pepper, onion, and cilantro. Sprinkle salt to taste. Use a large spoon to toss gently so pieces stay intact and the lime coats everything.
- No cooking is required. If you prefer, cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
- Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed. Give one last gentle toss. Serve immediately for the best crunch and bright flavor, or serve chilled.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for sweetness and firm cucumbers for crunch. Consider serving with a protein for a complete meal or storing ingredients separately for meal prep.
