Pickled Mango Cucumber Salad
This Pickled Mango Cucumber Salad is a fresh summer salad, delicious served as a side salad, or with Thai food, or spring rolls!
This salad is so good when served as a side with any Asian cuisine. You can always add noodles, protein (chicken), and serve it with your favorite curry! :) My daughter made this tasty salad, and we’ve enjoyed it several times this summer. Once with Thai food, once when we served several salads (Easy Pad Thai Salad) for dinner, with these Salmon Spring Rolls Recipe, and then this Apricot Greek Yogurt Chicken Thighs. YUM!

It’s dressed with a light vinaigrette with a hint of spice and plenty of fresh herbs. So refreshing.

- To make it with a “kick” add a Thai/serrano chili.
- Add peanuts or toasted sesame seeds.

I just made a cucumber salad…not a fancy one, but one of my favorite snacks is simply sliced cucumber with rice vinegar, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper and a little bit of oil. My family aren’t huge onion fans so I typically leave it out. I’m thinking of adding thin slices of radish for another level of crunch.
