This Refreshing Mango Cucumber Salad is a sweet, tangy, and crisp side dish featuring ripe mangoes, crunchy cucumbers, and a zesty lime dressing. It’s perfect for summer meals, picnics, or light lunches.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe but firm mangoes, diced
  • 1 large cucumber (or 2 Persian cucumbers), sliced or diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or mint, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes or 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice mango and cucumber and place them in a medium bowl.
  2. Add red onion and herbs, if using.
  3. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and chili if desired.
  5. Toss gently to combine without mashing the mango.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mango to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Peel cucumber only if the skin is thick or waxy.
  • Great with grilled chicken, shrimp, or spicy dishes.
  • Add avocado, tomatoes, or greens for variation.
