Notes

Mangoes: Ataulfo or Champagne are best suited for this recipe, but most types will work.
Do not use overly ripe fruit or avocado or the salad will be mushy.
For non-spicy, omit the jalapeño.
For oil-free, omit the sesame oil.
Chop the fruit evenly into small pieces to ensure a bit of everything ends up on your chip!
Finely chop the onion and jalapeño so they don't overpower the dish.
If you plan on having leftovers, add the avocado to the served portion only, and refrigerate the remaining salad without avocado in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
