Cucumber and Mango Salad

Even on night when I am out teaching a kickboxing class, I am determined to make sure there is a hot and well-balanced meal on that dinner table. As I was experimenting with the produce I just purchased at a local produce stand, a new creation was born out of my kitchen this morning. It will be a side dish tonight and I think the family will like it. I know I already do. It's fresh, healthy and a perfect side dish.

Cucumber and Mango Salad

2 English cucumbers, peeled and sliced into thin slices
1 ripe but firm Mango, peeled and thinly sliced
1/3-1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 green onions, sliced (white and green parts)
Juice of one lime
Drizzle of honey (1-1 1/2 teaspoons)
Tiny pinch of sea salt

Mix cucumbers, mango, cilantro and onions together in a bowl. Squeeze juice of one lime over ingredients. Drizzle with honey, toss. Sprinkle with salt and toss again. Serve cold. Enjoy!
