  • Slice through the skin about ¼-inch on either side of the seed. When you're done, you should have three slices: the seed + two mango "cheeks".

  • Cut parallel slices through the mango cheeks (without slicing through the peel), first in one direction, then perpendicular to the first slices. The flesh should have a grid pattern when you're done.
