Salad Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables and Fruit: In a large bowl, combine the diced mangoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Make sure all ingredients are evenly sized for a balanced texture.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, honey, and chili flakes until the honey is dissolved and the dressing is well blended.
  3. Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to ensure every piece is lightly coated with the flavorful dressing.
  4. Let Flavors Meld: Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature or chilled, so the flavors can blend and deepen.
  5. Serve: Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing appetizer or side dish perfect for warm weather.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute fish sauce with soy sauce or tamari.
  • Adjust chili flakes to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder salad.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • The salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or seafood.
  • Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the sweetest flavor.
