Ingredients
-
2 medium ripe mangoes (firm but yielding slightly)
-
½ tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
-
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice (optional for tang)
-
Pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the Mangoes
Wash, peel, and slice the mangoes, cutting around the pit to get large, even pieces. Cut into wedges or bite-sized slices and arrange them on a serving plate or shallow bowl. -
Season the Fruit
Sprinkle the chili powder evenly over the mango slices. -
Add Lime & Salt
Drizzle with fresh lime juice (if using) and finish with a light pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweet and spicy notes. -
Serve Fresh
Enjoy immediately for the best flavour and texture — chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
-
Choose mangoes that are ripe yet still slightly firm — this helps them hold up under the spice.

Cooking in The Keys +1 -
Serve right after dressing — mangoes release juices over time and the texture changes.
