Ingredients You’ll Need

Let’s keep things simple and fresh:

• 1 medium mango, peeled and diced
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 ripe avocado, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Step-by-Step: How to Make Mango Cucumber Salad

1. Prep Your Mango

Start by peeling the mango and slicing around the pit. Dice into bite-sized pieces. Don’t worry about perfection—rustic is charming here.

2. Slice the Cucumber

Peel the cucumber, slice it lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Dice into small chunks for that perfect crunch.

3. Rinse the Blueberries

Give them a quick rinse under cold water and remove any stems.

4. Cut the Avocado

Slice it in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice gently—this is your creamy element, so treat it kindly!

5. Combine the Goodness

In a large bowl, add the mango, cucumber, blueberries, and avocado.

6. Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and glossy.

7. Toss It Together

Pour the dressing over your salad and gently toss. Think “fold,” not “stir”—we don’t want mashed avocado here.

8. Add the Finishing Touch

Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and give it one last gentle toss.

9. Serve or Chill

Serve immediately or let it chill in the fridge for up to an hour for extra freshness.

Chef Omar’s Flavor Tips (With a Twist )

• Want a little kick? Add a pinch of chili powder or red pepper flakes to the dressing. Sweet + heat = magic.
• Chill your mango and cucumber before mixing—it makes the salad extra refreshing on warm days.
• If your avocado is a bit too soft, add it last to avoid turning your salad into guacamole (we’ve all been there).
• A sprinkle of chopped green onions adds a subtle bite that pairs beautifully with the sweetness.

And here’s a little kitchen truth: if it looks too pretty to eat… take a photo first, then dig in.
