A light and refreshing Mango Cucumber Salad with Blueberry and Avocado that’s perfect for hot days. This colorful salad combines sweet fruits with crisp vegetables and creamy avocado, creating a delicious and healthy dish that’s easy to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 champagne mango (peeled, seeded, and diced)
  • 1 Persian cucumber (diced)
  • ¼ red onion (minced and let sit for 15 minutes)
  • 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 of sea salt
  • A dash of freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette (lime juice, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mango, cucumber, red onion, arugula, avocado, blueberries, walnuts, and cilantro.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently.
  4. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure to let the red onion sit for 15 minutes before adding it to the salad. This helps to mellow out the strong flavor.
  • Use ripe avocados to get that creamy texture and great flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts for added crunch and a nutty taste.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • The salad is best when fresh.
  • Can be topped with grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
