Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 English Cucumber
  • 1 cup mango, diced (I use frozen diced mango and cut it into smaller pieces)
  • ½ cup red onion, diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds

Dressing Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Dice the mango, cucumber, and red onion. Chop the fresh herbs and grate the ginger (if using) *I gently scoop out some of the cucumber seeds to get rid of some of the moisture. Add everything to a large bowl.
  • Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar. Whisk it or shake it until everything is emulsified. Add the dressing to the salad and give everything a good toss to combine. 

Notes

Expert Tips
  • I like to chop everything into small pieces for this recipe so I get a little bit of everything in each bite.
  • Scoop out some of the cucumber seeds before chopping the cucumber to get rid of some of the moisture. 
  • Give it a taste once it's done and add more lime juice or soy sauce as needed. 
Storage
  • Refrigerator- store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Dietitian Tip
This Cucumber Mango Salad is a refreshing side dish, but it isn't a meal by itself. The best way to make it a balanced meal is to add protein and carbohydrates! I suggest serving it with smoked paprika salmon, honey garlic salmon bites, hot honey shrimp, or baked chicken breast. Make it vegan by using a plant-protein. Tofu, edamame, or roasted chickpeas pair great with the flavors in this recipe. Add your favorite grain like cilantro lime rice, whole wheat pasta, or quinoa.
