For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the mango slices before dicing. If you like a bit more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely minced jalapeño to the dressing. This salad is best served fresh. If making ahead, store the salad and dressing separately and combine just before serving. Consider adding grilled chicken or black beans for a heartier meal.
