Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized ripe mangoes
• 1 small red bell pepper
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 large lime
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 small jalapeño pepper
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Peel the mangoes and slice them into thin strips or small cubes, removing the pit as you go.

Step 2

Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber and halve it lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and cut into thin slices.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice half of the red onion into rings. Rinse in cold water to reduce sharpness, if desired.

Step 5

Finely chop the cilantro leaves and set aside.

Step 6

Halve the jalapeño pepper, remove the seeds for a milder flavor, or leave them in for more heat, and finely chop.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced mangoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the lime, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let the salad rest for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Step 11

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy this vibrant salad as a side dish or a refreshing appetizer.
