Place the mango on a cutting board, stem facing away from your knife. Slice off the bottom to create a flat surface.

Instructions
Place the knife along the top of the mango. Slice off the wider side, making sure to avoid the pit.

In each of the cheeks of mango, score across the flesh with a paring knife. Slice just until you hit the mango peel, but don't cut all the way through.

Push the peel upward until the cubes of mango pop out. At this point, you can slice off the chunks with a sharp knife or scoop them out with a spoon.
