Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to choose a mango for this salad? Look for a mango that gives slightly when pressed, similar to an avocado. It should be fragrant at the stem but not mushy, as you want the cubes to hold their shape when tossed with the cucumber. Can I make this salad ahead of time? This salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of making. While you can prep it 10-15 minutes early to let the flavors meld, the cucumber will release water over time, which can make the salad a bit soggy if left overnight. How can I adjust the spice level? If you prefer a milder version, remove the seeds and white membranes from the chili before chopping. For a spicier kick, use a Thai bird's eye chili instead of a standard red chili.
