In this refreshing summer fruit salad we have combined mango chunks with oh so sweet blueberries, added some toasted coconut flakes and tossed them in lime juice to combat the sweetness of the mango.

Labelled ingredients needed to make a mango fruit salad.

How to Cut A Mango for Fruit Salad

  1. Hold the mango upright, and starting 1cm out from the stem, cut off the two widest cheeks. If the knife runs into the pit, just start again a little further out. 
  2. Now take each cheek and use the tip of the knife to cut in a crosshatch pattern through the flesh lengthwise, without cutting the skin.
  3. Either scoop out the mango flesh with a spoon or flip the mango inside out and push the cubes off with your thumb or a spoon.
  4. With the remaining sides on the mango pit, peel the skin and slice them off, following the curve of the pit, and then dice.

Tips and Questions

How to Tell If Your Mango is Ripe

Colour is not the best indicator of ripeness so you can just ignore it. 

  • A ripe mango will give slightly so gently squeeze it to check for ripeness.
  • Like all stone fruits (e.g. peaches, nectarines) mangoes will become softer as they ripen.
  • Smell the stem ends as most ripe mangoes will exude a fruity aroma.

Can I Add Other Fruit?

We have kept our mango salad simple (why mess with mango perfection!) but feel free to add any fruit that takes your fancy. Some favourites to try:

  • Mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries.
  • Other tropical fruit such as pineapple, papaya or dragon fruit.
  • Add a bit of green with some kiwi fruit or fresh herbs such as mint or basil.

Can I Make it Ahead?

  • This is a great salad to make several days in advance and keep chilled until you are ready to serve. 
  • I like to make a big batch to snack on throughout the week as a sweet treat!
