Seasonal mango recipes: 10 ways to enjoy this summer fruit

Sweet, juicy and vibrant, mango has to be one of the best summer fruits out there! Plus, it’s super versatile. Here are some of our favourite recipes to celebrate seasonal mango.

1. Mango grazing board

Perfect for summer snacking, serve this mango grazing board with your favourite tipple. We recommend a dry pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc to offset the sweetness of the mango.

2. Mango yoghurt breakfast pots

Start your morning with a fresh and healthy burst of flavour with this simple recipe. Layer your favourite granola with mango, nuts and yoghurt for a quick and easy breakfast. You can even layer this in pretty jars and top with a lid for a delicious addition to a picnic.

3. Mango, yoghurt and muesli popsicles

On those mornings that start with the sun blazing, you need a breakfast that packs a nutritional punch while cooling you down. And these popsicles are just the thing! 

4. Mango calamari tacos

If you’re expecting guests around and have fresh mangoes at hand, these tacos are the perfect way to serve a lunch that’ll feed a crowd. Simply set out all the ingredients and let your friends build their own taco. Leftover meat, chicken or fish works just as well in place of the calamari.

5. Mango-and-mustard glazed gammon

Christmas may be over for now, but we always have room for gammon! This version is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy.
