Ingredients

  • 1 mango de-stoned, peeled, diced
  • ½ English cucumber peeled, deseeded, diced
  • ¼ cup white onion or red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely diced

For the mint dressing

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients for the mint dressing and give them a good stir or whisk. Taste test and adjust to preference.
  • Peel, de-seed and dice the cucumber, and peel and dice the mango into roughly similar sized pieces.
  • Combine the salad ingredients in your serving bowl and drizzle over the dressing. Lightly stir to combine.

Notes

*if it works for you, then you can swap the vinegar for lemon juice or lime juice.
  • Dice the mango and cucumber to roughly similar size pieces.
  • I do suggest de-seeding the cucumber as it can make the salad a bit too 'wet' with them.
  • See above in the recipe post for a link to a tutorial to ice the onion if you prefer it to have less 'bite' in flavour.

  • apple cider vinegar, which scores 1, and black pepper which scores 2.
