Mangoes are more versatile than some other exotic fruits and can be used in many dishes, both sweet and savory. Diced mangoes can be added to a salad made with rice or vegetables. They also make tasty salsas and cooked chutneys. Ripe mangoes, sliced or cut into chunks, dressed with a squeeze of lime, or fried until slightly caramelized, go well with smoked meats, chicken and turkey. They can be blended with yogurt, honey and a squeeze of lemon or lime for a revitalizing drink. The luxurious shrimp salad is another original way to use a luscious ripe mango. Serve it as a special dinner party starter.
