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!
