  • 2 tbsp honey adjust to your preferred level of sweetness

Method
 

  1. Peel the mangoes and cut them into thin slices. Thinly slice the red onion, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Set all the prepared ingredients aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined and smooth.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced mango, red onion, cucumber, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Add the chopped cilantro and mint leaves.
  4. Pour the lime dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are well coated with the dressing.
  5. Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
