Note

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a slice of fresh jalapeño to the salad.

If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons.

This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, store the mango/onion mix and dressing separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, then combine just before serving.

Ensure your mangoes are ripe but still firm for the best texture. Overripe mangoes may become mushy when tossed.

For a nutty crunch, garnish with toasted peanuts or cashews before serving.
