Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 Mango Provides natural sweetness and juiciness; fresh mango is ideal for the best flavor.
  • 1 Cucumber Adds a crisp, refreshing crunch; opt for a firm cucumber for optimum texture.
  • 1 cup Blueberries Bring bursts of tangy sweetness; fresh blueberries are preferred to avoid excess moisture.
  • 1 Avocado Contributes creaminess and healthy fats; make sure it's ripe for the best texture.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Introduces a burst of herbal freshness; can be substituted with parsley or mint.
For the Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Acts as a dressing base that provides richness; use extra virgin olive oil for a flavor boost.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice Adds a zesty kick that balances the sweetness; fresh-squeezed is always best.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Offers gentle sweetness; adjust the amount to taste or omit for sugar-free option.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Dice the ripe mango into small, bite-sized pieces, aiming for 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

  3. Rinse blueberries under cold water, shake off excess water, and add to the bowl.
  4. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice into small cubes. Add to the bowl.
  5. Gently combine the diced mango, cucumber, blueberries, and avocado in the bowl.
  6. Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently mix to coat everything evenly.
