TASTE’s take:
A symbol of life and eternal bliss, the mango has moved from its third-world background to its rightful place as the world’s most luscious of fruits, with a versatile, exotic taste that holds its own in a variety of recipes. A perfect summer dish, this salad is also delicious without the fish – simply add thinly sliced cucumber and serve with a Thai curry.
