This is a wonderful salad! Ripe mango's are the key - they are hard to work with, but well worth it! Great combo - I left out the strawberries and added just a few thinly sliced cucumbers...also very good. Used shrimp for my non-chicken eater sister - also fabulous! If you dont like cilantro thats ok, I've tried it with out and its still great. This is my new favorite salad.
