Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large Ripe Mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 Large English Cucumber, halved and sliced thi
  • 1/4 Cup Red Onion, finely diced

  3. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds if large, and slice into thin half-moons. Add to the bowl with the mango.
  4. Finely dice the red onion and add to the mixture. Soak in cold water for five minutes if too sharp.
  5. Chop the fresh cilantro and add to the bowl.

  7. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately or chill for twenty minutes.

Notes

Choose ripe mangoes for sweetness. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Do not add salt until ready to serve to maintain cucumber crunch.
