Method
Fruit & Finish
- 1
Prepare the mango
Wash the mangoes. Stand one mango upright and slice off the cheeks along both sides of the large central seed. Score the flesh of each cheek in a grid pattern without cutting through the skin, then invert the cheek and slice or scoop the cubes off into a bowl until you have about 2 cups of mango cubes.

Dress the mango
Add the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and honey (or agave) to the bowl with the mango cubes. Gently toss to coat so the fruit is evenly glazed. Taste and adjust: add a little more honey if you want sweeter, or more lime juice to brighten.

Season and garnish
If you like a spicy-sour contrast, sprinkle a pinch of ground chili powder or tajín over the mango and toss once more. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chiffonaded mint leaves for freshness.

Serve immediately or refrigerate the dressed mango for up to 24 hours. If chilled, add mint and crunchy toppings just before serving to preserve texture.
