Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe mangoes
- 1 large cucumber
- 0.5 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into small cubes. Add the cubes to a large mixing bowl.
Wash and trim the ends of the cucumber. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds or halve the rounds if preferred. Add the cucumber to the bowl with the mangoes.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the coconut flakes until they are golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and sea salt to make the dressing.
Roughly chop the mint leaves and add them to the bowl with the mango and cucumber.
Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over the mango and cucumber mixture and carefully toss everything together to ensure it is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes and black sesame seeds (if using) on top of the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. Enjoy this crisp and tropical salad as a side dish or light snack.
