EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If making the salads ahead and refrigerating for several days, store cornbread croutons separately so they stay dry and crisp.

If you’re short on time, buy pre-cut onions and mangoes.

VERY easy and fun to make! Especially if you've put it all together more than once, then you can really just throw it all together. I left both the dressing and the croutons on the side and let my friends season it for themselves. I always figure dressings are things that so many people are on the fence about that it was just better that way. Very wholesome piece of work here! I recommend it!
