Tips:

Choose ripe mangoes: Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too hard or have green patches, as they will not be as flavorful.
Use a sharp knife: Use a sharp knife to cut the mangoes, as a dull knife will crush the fruit and make it difficult to slice.
Be careful when cutting the mangoes: Mangoes have a large pit in the center, so be careful when cutting them to avoid cutting into the pit.
Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your mango salad the best flavor. If possible, use ripe mangoes, fresh herbs, and crisp vegetables.
Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all that is needed to enhance the flavors of the mango and other ingredients. Overdressing the salad will make it soggy and bland.

Conclusion:

Mango salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy mango salad that everyone will enjoy.
