Mango Cucumber Salad with Serrano Ham
This Mango Cucumber Salad with Serrano Ham is so quick to make, and so refreshing, that I instantly decided to make this salad on repeat.
Ingredients
- 1 mango
- 1/2 English cucumber
- 2 tablespoons parsley (NOTE 1) finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds
- salt & pepper
- 3 ounces serrano ham (NOTE 2) slices
Honey Lime Dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 lime juice
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Make a honey-lime-dressing by mixing olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt & pepper. Add this to the ribbons as well as finely chopped parsley and mix.
- Season with additional black pepper and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Dress up with Serrano ham and serve.
Notes
- Instead of parsley, use cilantro.
- Instead of serrano ham, use it's Italian version, prosciutto ham.
