How to cut a mango
- Using your non-dominant hand, hold the mango vertically over a cutting board. Use a knife to cut off the two "cheeks" around the large pit in the middle.
- Score the inside of the mango vertically and horizontally, making sure not to cut through the skin.
- Press the back side so the flesh pokes out, like in the image above.
- Use a knife to trim the pieces off.
- Cut around the large oval pit. Remove the skin and dice the remaining flesh of the mango.
- Suck on the juicy pit over the sink before tossing.
How to store
Store the mango salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days tops. We recommend consuming withing 1-2 days after making it for best taste, texture and color.
