1 cup of red bell pepper chopped up finely

# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Take the cold salad out of the fridge and enjoy on its own or next to your favorite main dish.
02 -
Pop a lid on your bowl and put it in the fridge for about 10 minutes so the flavors come together.
03 -
Now’s the time to try a bite and add more salt, lime juice, honey, or pepper if you feel like it needs something extra.
04 -
Dump all of your dressing over the mango and veggie mix. Use a spatula and toss it around until everything’s coated evenly.
05 -
Grab a tiny bowl, throw in lime juice, honey if you want, all the seasonings, olive oil, and the chili powder if you’re feeling it. Give it a good whisk.
06 -
Toss cilantro, mango, bell pepper, onion, and cucumber into a roomy bowl.
07 -
Cut up cilantro, mangoes, cucumbers, diced onion, and chop the bell pepper—get them all ready for mixing.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
You can easily make this ahead—just keep it in the fridge for up to two days.
02 -
Like a crunch? Add some toasted nuts or sesame seeds on top just before serving.
03 -
Want it sweeter? Go for more honey or sprinkle in a bit of brown sugar.
04 -
Chili powder isn’t a must, but it cuts the sweetness of the mango nicely.
