Spiralized Cucumber and Mango Salad

this …

It doesn’t take much for me to start obsessing over summer. One or two warm days and I’m in full warm-weather recipe mode. This spiralized cucumber mango salad is perfect for those warmer days (or just dreaming about them).

March to June is prime mango season (read: sales), so I tend to buy them frequently during this time of year. Although soft, juicy mangoes are delicious, I like them a bit firmer for this cucumber mango salad so that the cubes really hold their shape.

Since cucumbers are pretty watery, pat them down with a dishcloth or paper towel after spiralizing (or cubing) and before mixing with the other ingredients. Wait to dress the salad until right before serving and add the coconut curry cashew savory granola last so that it stays crunchy. Because let’s be real. That’s the most important part.

Think cutting a mango is confusing? I did too. Check out this tutorial.

Notes

We love using a spiralizer to turn warm weather vegetables into summer salads. If you don’t have a spiralizer, don’t worry. This recipe works with thinly sliced or cubed cucumber too. To peel or not to peel? That’s up to you.
