Notes
Choose a ripe but firm mango so the cubes hold their shape in the salad.
Add the microgreens at the end to keep them fresh and crisp.
Avocado, toasted almonds, pumpkin seeds, or crumbled feta make delicious additions.
For a little heat, add thinly sliced jalapeño or a pinch of chili flakes.
Prepare the dressing ahead of time but dress the salad just before serving.
