Ingredients
- Mango (2 cups, diced): adds natural sweetness and juicy texture
- Cucumber (1 cup, sliced): provides crispness and freshness
- Blueberries (1 cup, fresh): deliver a tangy, antioxidant-rich pop
- Avocado (1 large, cubed): creamy texture and heart-healthy fats
- Red onion (1/4 cup, finely chopped): subtle sharpness and crunch
- Fresh mint (2 tbsp, chopped): aromatic freshness
- Lime juice (2 tbsp, freshly squeezed): bright acidity to balance sweetness
