Wash the iceberg lettuce as usual, then cut into strips. Peel the mango, also cut into strips—or as desired. Then cut the cucumber (unpeeled) into thin half-slices. Finally, halve the cherry tomatoes. Then put everything in a bowl. Mix the ingredients for the dressing: lime juice, vinegar, oil, soy and fish sauce, sugar, pepper, salt (not much), and the chili flakes. Then pour over the salad and mix… let it sit for a moment. Finally, top with the toasted sesame seeds and chopped basil.
