How to Slice a Mango

1. The center of the mango is tough. You want the soft sides known as the “cheeks”
2. Place the mango on your cutting board.
3. Find the “notch” along the center. This is the tough center. 
4. Cut the “cheeks” left and right of the notch. 
5. Lay cheeks on your cutting board and slice vertically and horizontally to create squares being careful not to pierce the skin. 
6. Take your knife and run it along the skin and the fruit to cut the fruit away from the skin. 
7. Watch this Youtube video on how to cut a mango.
