Expert Tips

Loaded with mango and bell pepper, this salad is a tasty source of vitamins A and C. Vitamin A is vital for proper eyesight and healthy hair and skin; vitamin C helps promote healthy gums, blood vessels, bones and teeth.

Add a crusty roll and a glass of milk for a total of 3 Carbohydrate Choices. If your meal plan allows, select a small cookie for dessert.

Cook and drain the chicken, and chop the mango and veggies up to one day before serving. Then cover and refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the salad.

    Made this the other night. Awesome! I loved the raspberry dressing. Never had it before, it is now my favorite! I put this salad in a tortilla and poured more dressing, and ate it as a wrap. It was awesome.
