Instructions

Cut the cucumber, ripe mango and feta cheese into similarly sized cubes. Gently pat the cucumber cubes with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

In a small bowl, whisk together the hot honey, fresh lime juice and lime zest until smooth. Stir in the finely chopped fresh mint and cilantro.

Arrange the cucumber, mango and feta cubes across a large serving platter or board. Alternate the ingredients for a colourful presentation, or scatter them together for a relaxed appetiser-board style.

Drizzle the hot honey-lime mixture evenly over the cucumber, mango and feta cubes, distributing it so each bite gets some of the sweet, tangy and spicy flavour.

Season lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish with extra fresh mint and cilantro if desired.

Serve immediately while the ingredients are chilled and fresh.

Notes

Use ripe mango that is juicy but still firm enough to cut into neat cubes.

Keep the cucumber, mango and feta cubes similar in size for an attractive presentation.

Pat the cucumber dry to remove excess moisture and prevent the platter from becoming watery.

Keep the ingredients chilled for a particularly refreshing appetiser.

Add the hot honey-lime drizzle shortly before serving to keep the cucumber crisp.

Prepare the cucumber, mango, feta and drizzle separately ahead of time if needed, then assemble shortly before serving.

Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your preferred level of heat.

Serve on an appetiser board, as a starter, alongside grilled chicken or seafood, or as part of a summer gathering.
