2 ripe mangoes choose ones that yield slightly to pressure for optimal sweetness
1 cup shredded carrots adds a lovely crunch and vibrant color
1 red bell pepper sweetness complements the tang of the salad
1 cucumber julienned for a refreshing crunch
½ cup red onion thinly sliced for mild earthiness
½ cup fresh cilantro introduces a fresh, aromatic touch
¼ cup fresh mint leaves adds a hint of mint
¼ cup peanuts optional, crush for crunch
2 tablespoons sesame seeds optional for extra texture

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, and 1 minced garlic clove. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 diced ripe mangoes, 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1 red bell pepper, 1 cucumber, and ½ cup of red onion. Toss gently.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and toss with tongs until well coated.
Add ½ cup of chopped fresh cilantro and ¼ cup of chopped mint leaves. Gently mix.
If desired, sprinkle ¼ cup of crushed peanuts and 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds on top.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
