How to Make Tuna Mango: Tips, Hacks, and Modern Kitchen Tools

Use a Mandoline Slicer for Perfect Mango Slices

Cutting mangoes can be tricky because of their large pit. A mandoline slicer helps you achieve thin, even slices with ease, making it faster and more consistent. You can quickly slice the mango into perfect pieces, which will complement the tuna and other ingredients beautifully.

Use a Citrus Juicer for Fresh Lime or Lemon Juice

For a tangy dressing, you'll want to add fresh lime or lemon juice. A citrus juicer allows you to extract every drop of juice without seeds, making the process quick and hassle-free.

Salad Spinner for Fresh, Dry Greens

A salad spinner is great for washing and drying your leafy greens or lettuce in a jiffy. It ensures your salad base is crisp and fresh without any added moisture.

Tips and Suggestions on Tuna and Mango Salad

Choose Fresh Mangoes

Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor. Make sure they are firm but yield to gentle pressure, ensuring they’re not overripe.

Balance the Flavors

Pair the sweetness of the mango with the salty, savory flavors of the tuna. A squeeze of lime juice can help to balance the sweetness.

Light and Fresh Dressing

For the dressing, use a light vinaigrette or a mix of olive oil, lime juice, and a touch of honey to enhance the sweetness of the mango without overpowering it.

Texture Matters

Combine the smoothness of tuna with the juicy crunch of mango and perhaps some cucumber or avocado for extra texture and richness.

Add a Touch of Heat

If you like a bit of spice, add finely chopped chili or red pepper flakes to the salad for an extra kick that complements the sweetness of the mango.

Chill Before Serving

Let the salad sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and serve it fresh and chilled for a refreshing dish.

3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

                    

                        Instructions
                        Preheat oven to 400°F.
                            
In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg,
                                and lemon juice. Stir until apples are evenly coated.
Pour apple mixture into a pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
Cut butter into small pieces and sprinkle over the top of the apples.
Cover with a second pie crust, making sure to crimp the edges of the crusts together
                                with a fork to seal.
Cut a few slits into the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
                            
Let cool before serving.
