Mango & Cucumber Salad with Lime Dressing

This Mango and Cucumber salad with Lime dressing makes a great salad on its own. However, this colorful salad is also a perfect fresh & bright side dish for your summer BBQ.

The combination of sweet mangoes, the crispness of sweet peppers, and the refreshing taste of cucumber along with the juice of the lime is an explosion of flavors.

Summer salad is the best combination of crunchy, colorful, and most of all refreshing vegetables and fruits.

Mango is one of my favorite tropical fruit growing up. I ate both yellow or green, ripe or unripe, and lastly sweet or sour. 😀

Eating Mango by itself is great, but I also love adding it to my salads, desserts, and making a smoothie out of it. There are so many ways to enjoy mangos that’s why I call it the versatile fruit. Please check out my PEACH MANGO FLOAT to get this awesome recipe.
