How to choose delicious crab sauce
- It is advisable to buy crab from reputable sources to ensure quality and food safety hygiene.
- Small crabs will have a richer flavor than large crabs.
- Do not buy crabs from unknown sources, those that are too dark in color, or crabs with unusual colors as they may have been treated with preservatives.
- Additionally, if you have time and want to ensure the quality of the salad, you can make crab sauce at home according to the recipe from TasteVN.
How to choose delicious crunchy green mangoes
- It is advisable to choose those that are green or just starting to turn yellow. Mangoes at this stage will be best for making salads.
- You should buy mangoes with green stems; these are freshly picked, still fresh, and tasty.
- Look for mangoes that have a fragrant smell and feel firm when held.
- Avoid buying overripe mangoes, as they will not be good for salads. Steer clear of mangoes with unusual colors or large spots on the skin.

Tip:- Don’t squeeze the mango too long as it will make the mango mushy and lose its crunch.
