This vibrant mango and cucumber chow is a refreshing vegan side dish inspired by the bold, sunny flavours of the Caribbean. By macerating firm mango and crisp cucumber in a zingy dressing of lime juice, garlic and fiery Scotch bonnet chilli, the ingredients soften to create a beautifully balanced sweet and savoury relish. It is an ideal accompaniment for summer barbecues or as a bright contrast to rich, grilled proteins.
Preparing this dish is incredibly simple, making it a reliable addition to your plant-based repertoire. Allowing the flavours to meld at room temperature is the secret to achieving that authentic, juicy consistency. Packed with fresh coriander and plenty of black pepper, it offers a healthy, low-fat burst of tropical flavour that is sure to become a seasonal favourite for outdoor entertaining.
