Easy Mango Cucumber Salad With Chili Lime Dressing

Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1 large cucumber, diced
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, diced (optional)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the fresh ingredients. Peel and dice the mangoes into bite-sized cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
2. Wash the cucumber thoroughly. If using an English cucumber, there’s no need to peel it. Dice it into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the mango.
3. Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl.
4. If using, dice the red bell pepper and mix it into the salad.
5. Add the chopped cilantro to the mixture.
6. In a separate small bowl, prepare the chili lime dressing by combining the olive oil, fresh lime juice, chili powder, and honey. Whisk together until well combined.
7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated.
8. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
