Ingredients:
– 1 medium-sized raw mango, peeled and grated
– 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
– 1 small cucumber, diced
– 1 medium-sized carrot, grated
– 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)
– A handful of fresh coriander leaves, chopped
– Salt to taste
– 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated raw mango, sliced red onion, diced cucumber, grated carrot, chopped green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves.
2. Season the mixture with salt to taste. Toss the ingredients well to ensure even distribution of salt.
3. Sprinkle roasted cumin powder over the salad. Roasted cumin adds a smoky flavor that complements the tanginess of raw mango.
4. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad for a citrusy kick. Adjust the quantity according to your taste preference.
5. If you like, you can drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the salad for added richness. Toss the salad again to coat the ingredients evenly.

8. Serve the refreshing raw mango salad chilled as a side dish with your favorite meal or enjoy it on its own as a healthy snack.
