Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumber
- 1 large mango
- 1 cup (diced) pineapple
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 large lime
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Add to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Add to the bowl with the cucumbers.
Dice the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces if not already prepared. Add it to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice half of a small red onion and add it to the bowl for a touch of sharpness.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the juice of one lime, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cucumber and fruit mixture. Toss everything gently to ensure it's evenly coated in the dressing.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad. Give the salad one final toss to incorporate the mint.
Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to enhance the flavors. Enjoy your Tropical Cucumber Salad!
