Whisk or shake all the ingredients in a small jar. This amazingly tangly and sweet dressing consists of lime and lemon juice, of course, as well as honey, chili pepper flakes, and olive oil. Pour the dressing onto the mango salad, tossing to coat everything. Check out the full recipe and ingredient list below!
