Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers, diced

1 ripe mango, diced

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, minced (optional for heat)

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)

Crumbled feta cheese or avocado slices for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing all the fresh produce. Dice the cucumbers and mango, finely chop the red bell pepper, and thinly slice the red onion. If using, mince the jalapeño for an additional kick.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, mango, red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and minced jalapeño. Gently toss to combine the ingredients.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cumin (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

        Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the cucumber and mango mixture. Add the chopped cilantro and gently toss everything together until the salad is well coated with the dressing.

          Chill and Serve: Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld, or chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

            Optional Toppings: Before serving, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese or add slices of avocado on top for added creaminess.

              Enjoy Your Salad: Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or a light main.
