I'm not a big fan of mango, but I really enjoyed this salad. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the basil added a nice touch of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. Next time I'll add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
