Juicy Mango Cucumber Salad
A bright and refreshing salad featuring mango, cucumber, blueberries, and avocado, dressed with a simple lime dressing. Perfect for potlucks or a light lunch.
Ingredients
Fruit and Vegetables
- 2 cups mango, cubed
- 1 cup English cucumber, diced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- In a big bowl, gently toss the cubed mango, diced cucumber, and blueberries together.
- In a small separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until it looks glossy and slightly thickened.
- Pour the dressing over the mango mixture and toss very gently to coat everything evenly.
- Add the diced avocado and chopped cilantro last, folding them in with a soft hand so the avocado doesn't mash.
- Taste and adjust: add a pinch more salt, a squeeze of lime, or a tiny drizzle of honey if needed.
- Chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving so the flavors can settle in together.
Notes
For make-ahead, chop the mango and cucumber, rinse and dry the blueberries, and whisk the dressing. Keep each part in its container and combine them just before serving. Leftovers are best within 24 hours.
