Ingredients

For dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • chili oil to taste optional

For salad:

  • 1 English cucumber Note 1
  • 1 mango Note 2
  • ¼ cup loosely-packed fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • To make the dressing, whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Cut cucumber and mango into cubes. (TIP: Check out my easy method of cutting mango into cubes in the post above.)
  • Transfer into a medium bowl along with cilantro. Pour the dressing and toss to combine.
  • Refrigerate the salad for 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. But don't mix the salad more than half an hour before serving, or it'll become soggy and sad.

Notes

Note 1: I prefer English cucumbers, or seedless cucumbers, because they're sweeter and have thin skin.
Note 2: You can use any kind of mango for this recipe. I often use tart and sweet Tommy Atkins variety, which is the most common mango variety in the U.S. Ataulfo, aka Champagne mangoes, also work great!
