Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium avocado
Instructions
Peel and cube the mangoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice into thin half-moons. Add to the salad bowl with the mangoes.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add a quarter of it to the bowl. Reserve the rest for another use.
Chop the fresh cilantro roughly and sprinkle over the salad ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, and ground black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Gently toss all the ingredients until well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
Just before serving, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cube the flesh into chunks. Add the avocado to the salad and gently toss again.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes for a cooler salad.
