Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 whole cucumber

- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the mango into bite-sized cubes and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Wash the red bell pepper, remove the seeds and core, and dice it into small pieces. Add to the bowl with the mango.
Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and chop into half-moon slices. Add to the mixing bowl.
Peel and finely dice a quarter of the red onion. Add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and measure out half a cup. Add the cilantro to the salad mixture.
Roll the lime on the counter with your palm to help release the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the salad bowl.
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the ingredients in the bowl.
Season the salad with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with lime juice and olive oil.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or chilled in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
