Prep Fresh Mango

Cup of Yum
1. Start by preparing and cutting your mango. Cut the mango into three pieces along the length of the core. The center should be the core with some fruit pulp and on each side the fruit flesh.
2. Take the mango side pieces into your hand and with a pairing knife cut in a grid and push it through so that it looks like a hedgehog. That way, you can easily cut the mango from the peel. For the core piece, cut off the peel and slice the fruit flesh pieces from the seed core.
3. Collect all the mango pieces in a bowl. If you want to save time, you may use unsweetened homemade mango pulp.

Assemble Vinaigrette Ingredients

1. Place mango fruit pieces with ground black pepper, salt, vinegar, and oil into a tall measuring glass and blend smooth with a hand blender OR place all into a food processor and blend to a smooth dressing.
2. Pour dressing into a salad shaker or small bottle. Store in the fridge until further use.
