1 cup red onion, finely diced
03 -
1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 tablespoon honey (optional)
10 -

# How to Make It:
01 -
Chill the salad for at least 10 minutes. Dish it up nice and cold whenever you’re ready.
02 -
Pop a lid on the bowl and stick it in the fridge. The taste will get even better after a short chill.
03 -
Grab a spoon and try a bit. Adjust with more lime, honey, salt, or pepper if you want it just right.
04 -
Whisk up olive oil, chili powder (if you want), lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
05 -
In a big bowl, dump in mango, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and cilantro. Give everything a toss to mix.
06 -
Chop up cilantro roughly. Dice mangoes and cucumber. Chop the bell pepper and onion up fine.
07 -
Pour that dressing over your chopped mix. Use a spatula to coat everything evenly, but don’t mash it up.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You can make this ahead and keep it covered in the fridge for up to two days.
02 -
Want crunch? Throw on chopped nuts or toasted sesame seeds before you eat.
03 -
Like it sweet? Add some more honey or a pinch of brown sugar.
04 -
Chili powder is up to you but brings a gentle heat that goes great with mango’s sweetness.
