Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango: Peel the mango and carefully slice it away from the pit, then dice it into small pieces.
  2. Prepare the Cucumber: Peel the cucumber, cut off both ends, and slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, then dice the cucumber into small pieces.
  3. Rinse the Blueberries: Rinse the blueberries under cold water, ensuring there are no stems or debris.

  7. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the fruit and vegetable mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  8. Toss Gently: Gently toss the salad with a spoon, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  9. Add Cilantro: Chop the fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the salad.
  10. Final Toss: Give the salad one final gentle toss to distribute the cilantro evenly.
  11. Serve or Chill: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mango and avocado to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Blueberries add a pop of color and antioxidants to the salad.
  • Adjust honey quantity based on sweetness preference.
  • This salad is best served fresh but can be chilled for up to one hour before serving.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
