I love to make sides or salads that are easy, need only readily available ingredients, and can be made ahead of time. Simple, refreshing salads are excellent accompaniments to heavy buttered dishes or festive spreads. They have fresh flavors, are invigorating, and equally nutritious. They look pretty to the eye as well.

Ingredients Needed,

Cucumber - Fresh and crisp English cucumbers are ideal for this recipe.

Raw Mango- Perfect blend of tangy flavors and crunch.

Onions - Red Onions are the best choice, but you can also use your preferred type of onion.

Tomato & colored bell peppers - They provide a sharp and sweet flavor combination.

Cilantro and Mint leaves - for fragrance, taste, and freshness.

Pomegranate seeds/arils - For extra crunch and sweetness, use a generous amount of pomegranate seeds.

For dressing-

Olive oil- Any good-quality olive oil will work. I have used extra virgin olive oil from Costco.

Lime Juice- Red Chili Flakes, Salt, and crushed black pepper.

Serving Suggestion,

I personally feel this salad is an excellent dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Serve this alongside your holiday spread and watch the happiness on your guests' faces. This salad looks appealing, and you can prepare a large bowl in just a few minutes.

Can it be made ahead of time?

Yes. It can be made ahead, stored in the fridge, wrapped in cling wrap; it should be fine. Just don't use salt in the salad.
