Description

A vibrant and refreshing salad featuring juicy mangoes and crisp cucumbers, perfect for warm days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Champagne Mango (peeled, seeded, and diced)
  • 1 Persian Cucumber (diced)
  • ¼ Red Onion (minced and let sit for 15 min)
  • 3 cups Arugula
  • 1 Avocado (chopped)
  • ½ cup Blueberries
  • ¼ cup Walnuts (toasted)
  • ¼ cup Cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • A pinch Sea Salt
  • A dash Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the Veggies: Start by washing all your produce thoroughly. Dice the Champagne mango, Persian cucumber, and chop the avocado. Place each in separate bowls to avoid a jumbled mess.
  2. Cut the Red Onion: Take your quarter red onion and mince it finely. Soak them in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes.
  3. Toast the Walnuts: In a skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts until fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Let them cool and chop roughly when done.
  4. Mix the Greens: In a large bowl, add the arugula as your base.
  5. Combine Sweet and Savory: Gently fold in the diced mango, cucumber, avocado, blueberries, and drained red onion.
  6. Dress It Up: Whisk together lime juice, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
  7. Toss the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle the toasted walnuts and chopped fresh cilantro over the top.
  9. Serve: Load up your salad on a large platter or individual bowls.
  10. Enjoy: Dig in and share with friends!

Notes
