Ingredients
- 🥭2 ripe mangoes
- 🍋½ tsp lime juice
- 🌿 fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Pro tips
- Choose mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma near the stem.
- For easier handling, chill the mangoes for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- Leftover mango slices can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Method
- 1Wash the mangoes thoroughly under cold running water.
- 2Carefully slice off each side of the mango, avoiding the pit in the center.
- 3Score the mango flesh in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin.
- 4Invert the mango cheeks to pop out the cubes, then scoop the flesh from the skin into a bowl.
- 5Alternatively, peel the mango with a peeler, then slice the flesh away from the pit into desired shapes.
- 6Drizzle with fresh lime juice for an extra zing and gentle preservation.
- 7Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
