Chef tips
Use a firm-ripe green mango, not a fully unripe one: it should have gentle tartness but some sweetness too. Blending the basil only as long as needed helps prevent bitterness.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with agave syrup for a vegan version and swap the Greek yogurt for coconut-based plant yogurt to remove dairy. If you do not have lime, use lemon, though the flavor will be less floral.
