Notes
For extra refreshment, chill the diced mango and cucumber before assembling the salad.
Add a pinch of chili powder or red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick.
Increase the honey or substitute with agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
Use a ripe but firm avocado to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Serve alongside grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
