Tips

Choose ripe mangoes for the best flavor. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft when pressed and have a deep yellow or orange color.
If you don't have a ripe mango, you can speed up the ripening process by placing it in a paper bag with an apple or banana. The ethylene gas released by these fruits will help the mango ripen faster.
To peel a mango, start by slicing off the top and bottom of the fruit. Then, score the mango lengthwise, following the curve of the pit. Once you have scored the mango, use your fingers to peel off the skin.
If you want to add a bit of spice to your salad, try adding a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add some chopped cilantro or mint for a refreshing flavor.
This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to drain off any excess liquid before serving.
