Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized ripe mangoes
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and slice them into thin strips or small cubes, removing the pit as you go.
Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane, and slice it into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and halve it lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and cut into thin slices.
Peel and thinly slice half of the red onion into rings. Rinse in cold water to reduce sharpness, if desired.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and set aside.
Halve the jalapeño pepper, remove the seeds for a milder flavor, or leave them in for more heat, and finely chop.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced mangoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let the salad rest for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy this vibrant salad as a side dish or a refreshing appetizer.
