• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Add to a large mixing bowl.

Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Add to the bowl with the cucumbers.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the juice of one lime, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the cucumber and fruit mixture. Toss everything gently to ensure it's evenly coated in the dressing.
