04 - 1 medium avocado, diced
05 - 3 tablespoons finely diced red onion (about one-half small onion)
06 - 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
07 - ¼ cup thinly sliced basil leaves (chiffonade)

# Additional Notes:

01 - For the best results, use Ataulfo or Champagne mangoes, but most types will work.
02 - Avoid using overly ripe fruit or avocado to prevent a mushy texture.
03 - Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño to avoid overpowering the dish.
04 - If storing leftovers, only add avocado to the served portion and keep the remaining salad refrigerated without avocado for up to 4 days.
