What to Do with a Mango
 

I bought one because they were on sale for $1. But I don't have a clue what to do with it. Any suggestions? :chef:

You can make salsa.

Serve mango salsa with grilled pork, fish, or poultry.
1 large mango, peeled, cut in 1/4-inch cube
1/4 cup red bell pepper, cut in 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar (or Splenda, for Core)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well.
Let stand at room temperature a half hour before serving or refrigerate up to 24 hours. This does not hold up well and should be used within the 24 hours.

I've never even tasted one, Melissa, so I can't be much help.

For me ,mango is very tasty fruits

I eat them raw. Very tasty, but most are a bit large to eat all in one sitting.

They can be a bit tricky to peel and slice because the juice is slippery. Just FYI.

Thanks all. I think I might just slice it up and eat it as is. DH loves dried mango, so this should be good as well. I don't even know if it is ripe. :o Hopefully it will be okay!

I love mango - and this is a recent favorite. I don't think I even tried mango til a few years ago and now I love the flavor (esp mango ice cream - okay I know that's not what you wanted to hear?)

Absolutely just slice it and enjoy - I agree it can get quite messy while peeling cuz it's so juicy. I think it would be good in a salad as well! You can find some good info here I think: http://southernfood.about.com/od/man...go_recipes.htm
