# Ingredients:

→ Salad

01 - 1 medium mango, peeled and diced into small cubes
02 - 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
03 - 150 grams fresh blueberries, rinsed
04 - 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced

→ Dressing

05 - 15 millilitres extra-virgin olive oil
06 - 15 millilitres fresh lime juice
07 - 15 millilitres honey
08 - 5 grams fine sea salt
09 - 2 grams freshly ground black pepper

→ Finishing

10 - 8 grams fresh cilantro, finely chopped

# Steps:

01 - Peel the mango, slice flesh away from the pit, and cut into uniform small cubes.
02 - Peel the cucumber, trim the ends, halve lengthwise, remove seeds with a spoon, and dice into small pieces.
03 - Rinse blueberries thoroughly under cold water, ensuring no stems or debris remain. Drain well.
04 - Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon, and dice into small cubes.
05 - In a large mixing bowl, gently combine diced mango, cucumber, blueberries, and avocado.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
07 - Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly without breaking up the avocado.
08 - Finely chop the cilantro and sprinkle evenly over the salad.
09 - Gently toss the salad one last time to distribute cilantro and ensure a uniform mix.
10 - Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 hour before enjoying.

# Notes:

01 - For maximum freshness and texture, assemble just before serving and chill mango and cucumber in advance if desired.
02 - If preparing ahead, store the dressing separately and mix just prior to serving to maintain crispness.
03 - For additional flavor, a pinch of chili powder or red pepper flakes can be added to the dressing.
04 - To keep avocado cubes intact, toss gently and use a soft spatula.
05 - Pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp for a complete meal.
