For the Salad
  • 2 pieces Ripe Mangoes Adds a luscious sweetness and juicy texture; fresh is best!
  • 0.5 pieces Red Onion Provides a sharp, savory bite; substitute with shallots for milder flavor.
  • 1 piece Cucumber Introduces a refreshing crunch; jicama or zucchini can be alternatives.
  • 1 piece Red Bell Pepper Contributes vibrant color and mild peppery flavor; yellow or orange peppers work well.
  • 0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes Adds juicy acidity and visual appeal; any small tomato variety can be used.
  • 0.5 cup Fresh Cilantro Gives a citrusy-herb flavor; parsley can replace if preferred.
  • 0.5 cup Fresh Mint Boosts the salad with a cool taste; basil can be a different twist.
For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice The star of the dressing; lemon juice makes a great alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Offers natural sweetness; substitute with maple syrup for vegan option.
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Rounds out the dressing for a silky texture; can swap for canola or avocado oil.

Preparation
  1. Wash fresh produce thoroughly. Peel and slice the mangoes into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set everything aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined and emulsified.
  3. Gently layer the mango, onion, cucumber, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes in the bowl. Add chopped cilantro and mint.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are coated.
  5. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
