Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cucumber preferably seedless or peeled
  • 2 ripe mango peeled and sliced
  • 1 lime lime for fresh juice
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for balance
  • black pepper to taste black pepper

Equipment

  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Juicer or lime reamer
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Dice the cucumber into thin, bite-sized sticks and place in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the sliced mango to the bowl, mixing gently to combine with the cucumber.
  3. Squeeze the juice of a lime directly over the mixture, aiming to cover evenly for a bright, tangy flavor.
  4. Chop the cilantro finely and sprinkle it into the bowl for fresh herbal aroma and color.
  5. Add honey, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, then toss everything together until well coated and evenly combined.
  6. Let the slaw sit for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the cucumber to slightly soften.

Notes

Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill for 10 minutes for a cooler, more refreshing experience.
