Ripe mango is so luscious and complex that the less adulteration of the fruit, the better. Lime juice tempers mango’s extreme sweetness, and salt draws out its juices.
3 small or 2 large mangoes, ripe but not mushy
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8–1/4 teaspoon salt
1) Peel and pit the mangoes. Cut them into wedges or slices and place in a container.
2) Squeeze the lime juice over the mango and sprinkle with the sugar and salt. Gently mix. Taste a piece of a mango, and add more salt or sugar if desired.
