Mango complements grilled chicken, pork, or shrimp—especially when used in glazes, marinades, or sauces.
➤Stir Mango into Rice or Grain Bowls:
Toss mango chunks into quinoa, brown rice, or couscous bowls for a naturally sweet contrast to spicy or tangy ingredients.

Add mango slices or chutney to burgers and wraps to introduce a tropical flavor and moist texture.
