Introducing: Tangy Mango Basil Summer Salad

Hello, friends! Today, I am excited to share with you a refreshing and vibrant summer dish that combines the sweetness of mango with the fresh aroma of basil. This salad is perfect for hot days when you’re looking for something light and flavorful to enjoy.

For this Tangy Mango Basil Summer Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

To prepare this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Start by dicing the ripe mango and halving the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, then add them to a mixing bowl along with the mango and tomatoes. Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice to create the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl and gently toss everything together until well combined.

Let the Tangy Mango Basil Summer Salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This dish is best served chilled, so be sure to give it some time to cool before enjoying.

This recipe yields approximately 800g of salad, with about 4 servings. Each serving is around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 180 per serving.

One clever tip for this salad is to sprinkle some toasted almond slices on top just before serving. This will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that complements the tangy sweetness of the mango perfectly.

I hope you give this Tangy Mango Basil Summer Salad a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it with your favorite summer ingredients and make it your own! Happy cooking!
