Mango and Persian Cucumber salad in a Lemon Jalapeno Dressing

This is a great dish to make at home but also when you have to take something for a potluck. I use firm, almost green Kent mangoes which stay firm even after being cut up.

Salad:

3 Firm Mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced

3 Persian cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced

1 tomato , seeded and sliced

Handful pumpkin seeds

1/d Red onion, sliced (optional)

Dressing:

2 lemons juiced

2 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped

salt as needed (sea salt)

Combine all the ingredients for the salad and keep aside. Now whisk together all the dressing ingredients, pour on the salad and toss lightly.

Serving Suggestions:

  1. As a salad.
  2. As a side to grilled chicken or steak.
  3. As a topping on cracker or toasted bread.

Happy Cooking!
