Minty Mango Cucumber Salad: A Refreshing Summer Delight

Today’s Delicious Creation: Minty Mango Cucumber Salad

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and healthy recipe perfect for a hot summer day — my Minty Mango Cucumber Salad. This dish is inspired by the vibrant colors and flavors of the season, combining sweet mangoes with crisp cucumbers and a hint of fresh mint. It’s a delightful mix of textures and tastes that will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• ripe mango (diced) – 200g
• cucumber (thinly sliced) – 150g
• fresh mint leaves (chopped) – 20g
• lime juice – 2 tbsp
• honey – 1 tbsp
• salt – a pinch

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• spoon

Start by preparing the mango, cucumber, and mint as instructed. Combine them in a mixing bowl and toss gently to mix. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and salt until well combined. Pour this dressing over the mango and cucumber mixture and toss again to evenly coat everything.

The key to a successful Minty Mango Cucumber Salad is to allow the flavors to meld together for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will give the ingredients time to marinate and develop a depth of flavor that is truly irresistible.

Once the salad has had time to chill, give it a final toss and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint before serving. The combination of sweet mango, crunchy cucumber, and zesty lime will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 370g, with 2 servings at 185g each. Each serving is approximately 100 calories.

One clever tip to make this dish even more enjoyable is to chill the mango and cucumber in the fridge before preparing the salad. This will enhance the crispness and freshness of the ingredients, making each bite even more delightful.

I hope you give this Minty Mango Cucumber Salad a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs or additional ingredients to make it your own. Happy cooking!
