Notes
Storage:
This mango cucumber salad will generally last for about 2-3 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. However, this can vary depending on a few factors such as the freshness of the ingredients used and the conditions in your fridge. To ensure that your salad stays fresh for as long as possible, make sure to keep it refrigerated at all times and discard any leftovers that have been left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. It's also worth noting that the longer the salad sits, the softer the cucumber and mango will become, which can affect the overall texture and flavor of the dish.
