Sweet meets heat in this lovely mango-cucumber salad. It's substantial enough for dinner and takes only about a half an hour to make. The dressing comes together in minutes and features fresh lime zest and juice, rice vinegar, fish sauce, brown sugar, and Sriracha for a touch of heat. If you're spice-averse, feel free to leave it out, but we love the contrast in flavor with the sweet brown sugar and funky fish sauce. It also nicely complements the cucumbers, mangoes, and onion. Also, we left the tails on for the shrimp for a pretty presentation, but you can definitely cut them off if your prefer.
