Instructions
-
Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit into 1.5 cm cubes.
~3 min
Dicing Cut mango into even 1.5 cm cubes by slicing alongside the flat pit, scoring the flesh in a grid, then pressing the skin to release the cubes. Uneven pieces make the bowl look messy.
-
Cut the lime in half. Juice one half into a small bowl, then cut the other half into thin wedges for serving.
~1 min
Juicing the lime fresh preserves bright, volatile citrus oils that dull once the juice sits exposed to air.
-
Spoon the yogurt into a serving bowl and stir in the lime juice and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy.
~1 min
A pinch of salt suppresses bitterness and enhances the yogurt's natural sweetness and the lime's tang.
Balancing with acid Add lime juice gradually and taste as you go; you want brightness that lifts the creamy yogurt without turning it sour or watery. Too much acid makes dairy taste thin.
-
Pile the mango cubes on top of the yogurt, then scatter over the granola and the coconut flakes. Tuck the lime wedges on the side and serve right away.
