Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by peeling a ripe mango and slice off the flesh away from the pit. Cube the mango into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
  2. Wash one English cucumber under cold water, peel if desired, slice lengthwise to scoop out seeds, dice into small cubes and add to the bowl.
  3. Take a cup of fresh blueberries, rinse under cold water, drain, and add to the mixing bowl with mango and cucumber.
  4. Select a ripe avocado, cut in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, dice into cubes and add to the bowl.
  5. Gently fold the ingredients together ensuring not to over-mix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper, whisking until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture, gently toss until evenly coated.
  8. Finely chop a handful of fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the top of the salad, mixing gently.
  9. Serve the salad immediately or chill for up to one hour before serving.
