Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), and grated ginger until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large shallow serving bowl, layer the diced mango, sliced cucumber, avocado, red onion, and coriander leaves.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and sprinkle with crushed peanuts for crunch.
Gently toss before serving to coat the ingredients evenly while maintaining the colorful presentation.

Notes

Use ripe but firm mangoes so they hold their shape and remain juicy.

To make it vegan, substitute maple syrup for honey.

Add grilled prawns, chicken, or tofu to turn it into a full meal.

Cashews or macadamias can replace peanuts for variation.

Prepare ingredients ahead but assemble just before serving for maximum freshness.
