Frequently asked

How do I cut a mango?+

Slice the two flat sides off the pit, score the flesh in a grid without cutting the skin, then flip the cheek inside out and slice off the cubes.

Can I use frozen mango?+

Thawed frozen mango works but releases juice — drain it well and expect a softer salsa.

What do I serve it with?+

Chips, tacos, grilled tofu or fish, or straight from the bowl with a spoon when nobody is looking.
