Baked Salmon with Warm Mango Salsa opens in a new tab
Mango season in Hawaii would always inspire me and my friends to throw a tropical mango party. Have you ever been to a party like that? It’s quite a lot of fun and a great way to celebrate delicious, decadent mangoes. We would put on our swimsuits and sit in a hot tub eating sliced mangoes, drinking sparkling wine and listening to our favorite island music. I wish we had known about party-perfect Mango Sake Sling opens in a new tab and Mango Mimosas opens in a new tab back then.
New to mangoes? Once you’ve tasted a sweet, succulent mango, there’s no going back. If you’re not sure how to cut it, here’s one easy method:
Slice off the two cheeks on either side of the flat, oblong mango pit.
Taking care not to cut through the skin, make vertical lines about 1/4 inch apart.
Scoop out slices with a large spoon.
