Ingredients

Scale

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. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the diced mangoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro to form the base of the salad.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, fish sauce, honey, and optional chili flakes thoroughly until the dressing is well combined and slightly emulsified.
  3. Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all components are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Let Flavors Meld: Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature so the flavors can meld and develop for a more balanced taste.
  5. Serve: Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or light appetizer.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili flakes or add fresh chopped chili.
  • Use unripe mangoes for a tangier flavor contrast if preferred.
  • Ensure to slice the red onion thinly to prevent overpowering the salad.
  • This salad is best consumed fresh but can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • Substitute fish sauce with soy sauce for a vegetarian-friendly version.
