I like to slice the mango, cucumber and red pepper into thin strips, but you could also dice them (you want small cubes, not big chunks). - Place all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined. - Add all salad ingredients to a big bowl. Drizzle with the sesame ginger dressing and toss to combine. - Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy this vibrant salad! ### Notes * The easiest way to seed a cucumber is to cut it in half lengthwise and then use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds. ** I don’t like the strong taste of raw onions, so I place the chopped onions in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. After ten minutes, I drain and rinse the onions with cold water. Bye-bye pungent taste, hello delicious mild flavor. *** To toast the cashews or peanuts, place them on a baking sheet (no oil) and roast in the oven for 10 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Remove and let cool. **** This recipe is inspired by the gorgeous Mango Salad from the Love & Lemons blog.
