Notes
To make ahead, assemble the skewers and cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Drizzle with cilantro lime sauce just before serving.
To store leftovers, place in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. The appetizer should stay fresh for a couple of days, but past 3 days the cucumber and mango will start to wilt and dry out a bit.
