Notes
Storage: Store any leftover mango salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 1-2 days to maintain freshness and flavor, as the ingredients may become soggy over time.
Reheating: This salad is best served cold and does not require reheating. If you prefer a slightly warmer dish, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
Serving: Serve the refreshing mango salad in individual bowls or on a large platter. For an added touch, garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges for a pop of color and flavor.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding diced avocado or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a hint of heat. Additionally, using chilled ingredients can enhance the refreshing quality of the salad.
