There are so many dishes you can make with a mango. These are our favorite recipes!
Mangoes taste perfect on their own. I’ll never forget the first time I ate one fresh off a tree, standing on the side of a dirt road in El Salvador after someone shimmied up a tree to snag several of the ripe fruit. But there are also so many incredible things you can make with them, so we’ve rounded up some of our favorite mango recipes!
I first fell in love with mangoes in juice form, thanks to the ubiquitous Orange, Peach, Mango juice from Dole. (Even Trader Joe’s has knocked it off.) You won’t be surprised to see a bunch of drink recipes on this list. They range from a mango mojito to a sweet mango green tea recipe, covering the gamut of what you might need for refreshment.
But, of course, the list doesn’t end there, incorporating pairings with crab, chicken, peach, shrimp, sweet potato, and more, with recipes inspired by tropical zones around the world where they flourish as well as our various contributors’ whims over the years.
Few things say summer better than a juicy mango dripping down your face, but if you’re ready to roll your sleeves up and make something mildly more involved, then start here!
