Note
If mangoes are out of season, papaya or pineapple are excellent substitutes that maintain the sweet, tropical flavor profile.
For added crunch, consider topping the salad with toasted slivered almonds or cashews.
This salad is best served immediately to keep the lettuce crisp and the dressing fresh. If preparing ahead, store the dressed chicken and fruit separately from the lettuce until serving.
Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly before cooling and cubing.
