Mangos also taste great with smoked meat, Parma ham and smoked chicken or as a refreshing side for spicy dishes and curries. Ripe mangos can be mixed with chilli peppers for a delicious salsa. They are also perfect for juices and smoothies combined with orange, watermelon, pineapple, banana and papaya.
