My current go-to is this super simple mango, cucumber, and chile salad. It’s beyond easy to make, and it certainly is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 very ripe mango, sliced
- 2 persian cucumbers (or 1/2 english cucumber), thinly sliced into rounds
- 1/4 teaspoon (or to taste) cayenne chile powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon thinly chopped scallion
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, basil, chives, or a mix)
- 1 lime

This salad was easy to put together and really pretty. The cucumber and mango were a tasty pair and the herbs, chili, and lime juice added a lot of flavor. To punch it up a little, I added some sliced avocado and a bit more salt. It was a nice partner for some grilled salmon on a hot summer night. (I know it’s still spring, but it was 88 degrees in Austin today.)
Directions
- Step 1
Arrange the mango and cucumber slices on a plate. Evenly sprinkle chile and salt over. Top with the chopped scallions and herbs, then cut lime in half, and squeeze juice evenly over everything.
