Mango, Avocado and Cucumber Salad with Lime Dressing

By Denise Pare-Watson

Mango, Avocado and Cucumber Salad is one of the most refreshing salads that I have ever tasted and one of the easiest to make. There is a perfect balance of textures and flavours enhanced with a zesty lime dressing. There are so many reasons to make this delicious salad again and again:  pot-lucks, barbecues, block parties, and summer patio al fresco meals.

Mango, Avocado and Cucumber Salad with Lime Dressing

CHEF TALK:  This is a great make-ahead salad. I recommend chilling the salad thoroughly before serving.  This recipe has been adapted from an Eating Well recipe called Tropical Cucumber Salad.

INGREDIENTS:

For the Salad:

  • 1/2 of a medium English cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 mango, cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh mint, chiffonade, optional

For the Dressing:

  • 3 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest, plus some zest reserved for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD:

  1. Whisk fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, and vinegar in a medium bowl until combined.
  2. Add the diced cucumber, avocado, mango, parsley, and mint.
  3. Toss gently to coat the mixture.  Pile into a presentation dish or shallow bowl.
  4. Refrigerate for at least one hour.  
  5. Serve well chilled, garnished with lime zest.

      I was just thinking the same thing about your lovely Grilled Prawn Cocktail with Pineapple Jicama Salad, Elaine! 🙂 I would like to try both of those recipes together, wouldn’t you? We think alike in our flavours. Thanks for your comment and for visiting UrbnSpice.

    This sounds so flavourful and so refreshing. Perfect for this time of year.

      Thank you, Natalie. It is a very refreshing salad or try this: Today, for a pool party, I reinvented the salad into a salsa instead by dicing the ingredients finer. It was so delicious with scoopable chips.
