Cucumber Mango Salad

Ingredients

• 1 mango
• 1 cucumber
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp white sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Give the cucumber a good scrub so any wax or residue comes off. If you want it to look a little fancy, shave away alternating bands of peel, then cut the cucumber into half-moon slices.
2. For the mango, slice off the rounded cheeks first. With a sharp paring knife, make lengthwise cuts through the fruit while keeping the skin intact, then slide a spoon between the peel and the flesh to lift the pieces out. Halve the mango slices so they land closer to the cucumber in size.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes. Keep stirring until the sugar has fully melted into the vinegar.
4. Put the cucumber and mango slices in a large bowl, then drizzle the dressing over them. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Serve right away, or chill it until you are ready to eat. Give it a good stir before serving so the dressing finds its way back through the salad.
