How to Make Mango Cucumber Salad with Serrano Ham
Step 1 – Peel the mango with a vegetable peeler. This way you only cut the skin off and don’t cut off any mango meat. Use the same vegetable peeler and cut ribbons from the fruit.
Step 2 – Wash the cucumber and use that same vegetable peeler to cut ribbons. This way the size and thickness of the ribbons are similar to the mango.
Step 3 – Make a honey-lime-dressing by mixing olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt & pepper. Add this to the ribbons and mix, as well as finely chopped parsley.
Step 4 – Season with additional black pepper and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Step 5 – Dress up with Serrano ham and serve and ENJOY!
