It\u2019s no secret we love<\/em> spicy<\/strong>, smoky<\/strong> entr\u00e9es here at MB (exhibits a<\/a>, b<\/a>, and c<\/a>). And what\u2019s the perfect side to accompany them, you ask? Mango cucumber salad! It\u2019s fresh, crunchy, sweet, bright, and quick & easy to make!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just 7 ingredients<\/strong> and 10 minutes<\/strong> required for this versatile side. Let us show you how it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n

How to Make Mango Cucumber Salad<\/h2>\n

This is one of those recipes that came to be by looking at the ingredients we had around, giving a new combo a chance, and being very<\/em> pleased with the result! It starts with two ingredients that were practically made for each other: crisp, crunchy cucumber<\/strong> and sweet, sweet mango<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Using an English cucumber is best because it\u2019s sweeter, crisper, and the seeds are small with minimal water content. No soggy salads here, please. For the mango, a ripe, sweet (but still firm) mango will give your salad the best<\/em> flavor and texture.<\/p>\n

\"Diced<\/figure>\n

The remaining salad components include cherry tomatoes<\/strong> for brightness, shallot<\/strong> for crunch and savory flavor, and cilantro<\/strong> for fresh, herby notes. And for our friends with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap \u2014 we\u2019ve got you! Parsley works great, too!<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n

Now for the dressing \u2014 errr, not dressing? It doesn\u2019t get much easier than this: a generous sprinkling of lime juice<\/strong> and sea salt<\/strong> to enhance the natural flavors of the fruits and veggies. And if it needs a little<\/em> extra sweetness, a drizzle of maple syrup will do the trick!<\/p>\n

\"Squeezing<\/figure>\n

Lastly, stir it all together, and it\u2019s go time!<\/p>\n
