Notes

Recipe Tips:

  • When picking a mango, look for one that is slightly soft but not mushy. You can determine this by gently squeezing the fruit. It should be plump and round.
  • If you get a flat mango there is a good chance it's going to be stringy.
  • To be certain the mango is ripe, smell it near the stem and choose one that smells sweet.
