How to cut and cube a mango
If you aren’t familiar with mangos, they have a large seed in the center and the flesh doesn’t easily pull away from it. Therefore, you can’t cut straight through it, rather cut slightly off center.
- Wash the mango.
- Slice off a sliver of the top (the stem end) and the bottom.
- Cut the mango vertically along the seed on each side. This is the best part of the mango.
- Carefully slice each side slice into a grid pattern without cutting through the skin.
- Using a large spoon scoop out the cubes.
Avocado Mango Salad tips
This salad is really better served the same day it’s made.
I don’t recommend freezing it.
For leftovers, store them in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It’ll be good for 48 hours after that the avocadoes really get mushy and yuck.
