A super quick and easy appetizer recipe which can be made in a jiffy. Usually, in the summer months, my refrigerator is well stocked with Alphonso mangoes. Whenever any unexpected visitor or my son’s friends drop in (which by the way is most common in our household) I chop up the mangoes and make a refreshing fresh salsa. Always use a sharp fruit knife to cut this evenly into dices. Feel free to adjust the seasonings as per your taste and voila you have an appetizer ready in under 5 minutes.
So what are you waiting for! Do try and let us know before the mangoes go out of season!
