Note

For best results, ensure the pork is completely cooled before assembling the salad to prevent wilting the lettuce.

If using a very ripe mango, you may reduce the sugar slightly to taste.

Avocado browns quickly; slice it just before serving or toss lightly with a bit of lime juice to maintain color.
