Elegant Sliced Mango Platter

Step 1

Gently wash the mango under cold running water.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the two "cheeks" of the mango, avoiding the large, flat pit in the center.

Step 3

Score the flesh of each mango cheek lengthwise and crosswise, without cutting through the skin, to create a checkerboard pattern.

Step 4

Gently push the skin side up to invert the mango cheek, causing the diced flesh to pop out.

Step 5

Alternatively, you can peel the entire mango and then slice the flesh into elegant strips or cubes.

Step 6

Arrange the mango pieces artfully on a white ceramic platter or a flat serving plate.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert.
