How to easily peel and dice a mango

Mangos can be difficult when it comes to peeling and cutting. But don’t worry, I’ll break it down for you in just a few simple steps.

1. Cut off the cheeks. Mangos have a long seed in the middle of it. So cut the mango lengthwise, just off center, to remove the two cheeks.
2. Cut a grid. On each mango cheek, cut a grid pattern without cutting through the skin. Then press the skin outwards, making the fruit form into cubes.
3. Scoop the cubes. Using a spoon or knife, scoop the cubes from the skin.
4. Remove the little bits. The long seed might still have some usable mango, so use a knife to slice and dice the scraps.

How to make mango salsa

Once you’ve prepared the ingredients, simply place them into a bowl and mix everything together. That’s it! Let it sit for 10 miniutes before serving to allow the flavours to marinate.

Tips & tricks

• Use ripe mangos. A ripe mango will normally have a softer flesh, so be sure to test this before buying.
• Switch the herbs. If you’re not a fan of coriander, use fresh parsley instead.
• Add a spicy kick: For a spicy mango salsa, chopped jalapeño.
• Add more flavour. You can also add diced tomatoes for an even more flavourful dip.
• Leave out the avocado. If you plan to make ahead – you can add this just before serving so that it doesn’t go brown. If you’re packing this in your lunchbox, replace with extra mango or fresh chopped cherry tomatoes.
