2 tablespoons coconut chips
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves

Cooking Tip
Sometimes you just want to peel a mango. The easiest way to remove the mango skin is to cut off the end to make a flat base and stand it up. With a sharp knife, start at the top and make clean slices down the sides, just under the peel, to the base. Go all the way around and voila – your mango is peeled.
