Recipe: Fresh Cucumber Mango Salad

I don't normally think of putting fruits and vegetables together in the same dish.

I also don't normally think of Walmart stores as a destination for healthy eating.

Yesterday, I walked into my local Walmart and stopped by a food sample/demonstration booth. What

awaited me in the tiny disposable ramekin looked appealing - cucumbers and other colorful produce glimmering with oil and spices. But what I learned next surprised me.

Accompanying the cucumber were tomatoes and mangoes - yes, mangoes. The glaze consisted of olive oil and honey. And the spice - it wasn't savory. It was dried mint.

I was intrigued - even more so after I put the salad into my mouth. These simple ingredients exploded with fresh, crisp, and refreshing summertime flavors.

But don't take my word for it.
