Notes on some fun knife skills for this black bean, mango and corn salsa.

dicing tomatoes 🍅

Slice the tomato in half, use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.

Dice like you would a pepper.

mango dice method 🥭

Cut off 2 slices alongside the pit. It’s a flat pit so get the most ‘meat’ you can.

Score the mango lengthwise and then across.

Now the fun part, push the skin in an upwards direction and watch these magical cubes pop up.

Slice off at the base and have all these perfect cubes!

Incidentally it’s just as fun to eat the mango straight off the skin this way too.

Serve with fish tacos, or tortillas.

Good in or on burritos too!

Also a potluck rock star. NEVER any leftovers.

Disfrutar! translation: enjoy!
