Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe mangoes
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh into small bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and slice the cucumber thinly. Add it to the bowl with the mangoes.
Finely slice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Add them to the bowl as well.
In a small dry skillet, toast the mustard seeds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until they start to pop. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly before adding to the salad.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your palate.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
