Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Cucumber: Using a vegetable peeler, create decorative stripes along the cucumbers by removing alternating strips of peel lengthwise. This adds visual appeal and a textural contrast. Slice the prepared cucumber into 1/4-inch thick pieces and place them in a large salad bowl. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

Combine Ingredients: Gently add the cubed mangoes to the bowl with the cucumbers. Drizzle with rice vinegar and agave nectar. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds evenly over the top. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Gently Toss: With care, toss all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the cucumbers and mangoes are evenly coated with the dressing. Avoid over-mixing to prevent the mangoes from breaking down. (2 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. (15 minutes)

Toast sesame seeds for a richer, nuttier flavor. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Adjust agave nectar/honey to your preferred sweetness level. Taste and add more as needed.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lime juice.
Best served chilled for a refreshing experience.
