Mango, Avocado, & Cucumber Salad

Salads don’t have to conform to a specific set of rules, but people perceive them that way. You don’t have to include leafy greens, tomatoes, bell peppers, or celery in every salad! This salad is proof of that, and boy does it taste delicious. The flavors and textures create a pleasant and exciting eating experience. The buttery avocado creates a flavorful marriage with the sweet mango and crisp cucumber. When you eat this salad, it almost feels like you are hydrating the body.

We have a couple quick notes about the salad. One major note is that the mangoes have to be perfectly ripe. You don’t want them overly ripe because then they turn to mush, and underripe mangos, while firm, are sour and bitter. Get a mature mango that has a little give, but still retains a certain amount of firmness. The same applies for the avocado. Lastly, try your best to dice the cucumber, avocados, and mangos exactly the same size. This makes for a pleasant eating experience, and it just looks a lot prettier.
