For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the mango slices before dicing. This adds a smoky sweetness that complements the other ingredients beautifully. If you're sensitive to spice, start with a very small amount of jalapeño and taste as you go. This salad is also delicious served with grilled chicken or fish. To prevent the cucumber from making the salad watery, lightly salt the diced cucumber and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, pat it dry with a paper towel before adding it to the salad.
