Mango Cucumber Salad

Mango Cucumber Salad Recipe

This salad has its own salad dressing. It is first all placed into a jar and ultimately dresses the salad. Into this jar we have lemon juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. We shake it to incorporate the flavors and place a lid on it and refrigerate. We build this salad by placing in a large bowl your ingredients. We have mango for sweetness. We then have cucumbers for both crunchy texture and freshness. We have Puerto Rican peppers for heat and red onions for texture and flavors. Wow this salad once dressed will leave you speechless. That for me is a rarity...ask my husband. Enjoy!
