Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 small chili (such as Thai bird’s eye chili), finely chopped (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango and Cucumber: Peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Wash and thinly slice the cucumber, keeping the slices uniform for a consistent texture.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango slices, cucumber slices, freshly squeezed lime juice, and finely chopped chili. Toss gently to evenly coat all the ingredients with the lime juice and chili.
  3. Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and enhances the refreshing taste.
  4. Serve: Once chilled, give the salad a quick toss again and serve immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh and cold.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili based on your preferred spice level.
  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle some fresh chopped cilantro or mint leaves before serving.
  • The salad can be served as a light appetizer or as a side dish with grilled meats or seafood.
  • For a slightly sweeter version, drizzle a small amount of honey over the salad before chilling.
