Where I live it is (finally!) starting to feel like Spring, so my refrigerator is getting stocked full of fresh fruits and vegetables just waiting to be sliced and diced for some summer salads. Some of them are more difficult to handle than others though, and I'm often asked what the best way is to handle a particular fruit or veggie.
I ran across this blog entry by Rachel at Coconut & Lime, which provides complete, detailed, step-by-step instructions (including pictures) on how to cut up a mango with minimal waste. This may seem a bit elementary for seasoned cooks - but for those who are just learning their way around the produce aisle it is an excellent guide. Once you have them all cut up, Rachel also follows up with a recipe for Mango Chicken which sounds absolutely delicious.
