Guess what!!! Summer is approaching real fast and what better way to celebrate than with the king of the fruits himself. Oh yes, I am talking about one of my favorite fruits in the world – mangoes. My love for mangoes go way back to my grandparent’s backyard which has many many mango trees, and every summer vacation my grand pa would introduce us to his world of home grown fruits. Mangoes have a unique freshness associated with them and adding them to a salad just quadrupled it.
