How to make mango cucumber salad
It is one of these recipes that has become by looking at the ingredients we had around, giving a new chance to a new combo and being very Satisfied with the result! It begins with two ingredients which have been practically manufactured for each other: crisp and crunchy cucumber And Soft and soft mango!
The use of an English cucumber is the best because it is softer, clearer and the seeds are small with a minimum of water content. No soggy salads here, please. For mango, a ripe, sweet (but always firm) mango will give your salad the best Flavor and texture.
The remaining salad components include cherry tomatoes For brightness, shallot for the crunch and the tasty flavor, and coriander For fresh notes and Herby. And for our friends with the gene that makes coriander taste soap – we have! The parsley works very well too!
Now for the vinaigrette – Uh, not to dress? It does not become much easier than this: a generous pinch of lime juice And sea salt To improve the natural flavors of fruits and vegetables. And if he needs a little Sweetness additional, a net of maple syrup will do the trick!
Finally, stir everything together, and it’s time!
