Expert Tips

Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.

This salad can be made several hours ahead. Add the cashews just before serving.

Try garnishing with edible flowers. Nasturtiums, pansies and violas are just a few examples.

This was a big hit at the party last weekend. Following advice from a review, I used frozen mango as I needed to take it in a cooler. That worked great, and was convenient but the flavor & texture of fresh are worth it if you have the time. I did use some of the Caribbean seasoning on the chicken, as others suggested. And cut grape tomatoes in half instead of plum. I think leftover salad would be nice stuffed in a pita or wrap.

Delicious! I put some of the seasoning on the chicken before grilling and it gave it some extra flavor. I never know how to pick a ripe mango, so I used frozen mango and it was perfect. A delicious summer salad!
