Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized, ripe Mango
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cups (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional) Red chili flakes
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and carefully slice off the flesh around the pit. Cut the mango flesh into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size, and set aside.
Wash the cucumber and slice it thinly into rounds. If the cucumber has thick skin, you may optionally peel it before slicing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango cubes, cucumber slices, and shredded coconut.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the mango-cucumber mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly coated.
Add the chopped cilantro to the salad and give it one final toss.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a light appetizer, side dish, or refreshing snack.
