    Mango Cucumber Salad Ingredients

    Labeled ingredients in bowls.
    • Mangos: Ripe mangos provide a sweet flavor and soft texture.
    • Cucumbers: Diced cucumbers add a crispy texture.
    • Peppers: Use both green and red bell peppers for color and flavor.
    • Onion: Choose a red onion for added flavor. You can also use white onion.

    How To Make Mango Cucumber Salad

    Chopping cilantro.

    Start by dicing your mangos, cucumbers, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, onions, and cilantro. You can make the pieces bigger or smaller depending on your preferences.

    Chopped ingredients in a bowl.

    Put all of the diced fruit and vegetables into a bowl. Keep the dressing simple and drizzle the salad with freshly squeezed lime juice and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

    Other Ways to Make It

    Mango Cucumber Salsa: You can use this recipe to make mango salsa with cucumber! Simply chop or dice the ingredients into smaller pieces and serve it with chips. Or use it to make mango salsa chicken!

    Mango Avocado Cucumber Salad: Diced avocados add a creamy texture to the salad that is so good! Dice a ripe avocado and stir it into the salad. I don’t recommend making this version ahead of time since the avocado will get mushy. But you can wait to add the avocado until serving time.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What else can I add to this mango cucumber salad?

    You can add more fruits, such as pineapple, strawberries, apples, or peaches. Or you can add more vegetables such as jalapeños, tomatoes, yellow and orange bell peppers, or corn. If you increase the amount of fruits or veggies, you might also need to increase the amount of lime juice, salt, and pepper for the dressing.

    How can I make this salad sweeter?

    To sweeten, you can add some honey or mango nectar. On the other hand, if you want a spicier salad, stir in some minced jalapenos. And for an acidic flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar.

    Yes. Drain the juice from the can and dice the mangos into smaller pieces if necessary.

    Yes, you can use frozen mangos. Allow the frozen mangos to thaw before dicing them into smaller pieces. Then, add them to the other ingredients to make the salsa.
