Preparation Steps
  1. Start by peeling the ripe mango and carefully slice away from the pit. Dice the mango flesh into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Next, take the cucumber, peel its skin if desired, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Dice the cucumber into small pieces.
  3. Gently rinse the fresh blueberries under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
  4. Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and dice it into small cubes.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced mango, cucumber, rinsed blueberries, and diced avocado.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine, coating all ingredients.
  8. Chop fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the salad, giving it a final gentle toss.
  9. Serve the Mango Cucumber Salad immediately for the best texture and flavor.
