Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the mangoes. The easiest way to do this is to cut off as much flesh as possible, slicing along the sides of the pit. 🥭
-
-
Determine the direction of the pit growth by observing its shape. This will help you score the mango halves correctly.
-
Score the mango halves lengthwise and then crosswise into 3/4 inch cubes, ensuring you cut through to the skin but not all the way through it.
-
Carefully turn the mango halves inside out and slice off the cubes, separating them from the skin.
-
In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed mangoes with the remaining ingredients: thinly sliced red onion, diced red bell pepper, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
-
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
