Q. How do I prevent the mango slices from turning mushy while preparing this recipe?
To maintain the best texture, use ripe but still firm mangoes and slice them just before serving. Arrange the slices on the plate before adding lime and seasonings, and avoid letting them sit too long after dressing, as the acid can soften the fruit over time.
