Mango Salad

We saw an interesting video on YouTube of how to extract the mango from the peel by using a glass. I am not sure how safe it is because the glass could break and cut your hand - but here is a link to it: Mango.

After experimenting with it we decided to make a Mango Salad. The salad was great we added some peanuts to the recipe, but I think next time we will add some peppers to kick it up a notch. It is a good salad!
