Mango Chicken Salad
Because I love her and she asked for this recipe to be released next and because she’s carrying baby Jane in her tummy and because she’s all around fabulous, this recipe is for Jessica Waters (and Alisha cause this will always remind me of her!)
I started making this salad about 8 years ago. One of my coworkers, Alisha, was obsessed with it. We always joked about eating S#!& salad that we brought from home for lunch because if we ate the food at our restaurant everyday, we’d be large and in charge. My office was the first office as you came into the corporate offices and everyday, Alisha would peek in to see what I brought or, more importantly, to see if I brought this ridiculously yummy salad. I’m not sure if I ever gave this recipe to Alisha but I know she will be on here printing this one out! Shout out to S. S.!!
Hubby’s note: We’re doing shout outs now? Is this a morning radio show? If I were to shout something it would be…I LOVE THIS SALAD…AND I LOVE USING ELLIPSES! Seriously, this salad is so light and so good at the same time. I’m a man (I’m relatively sure about this). We generally don’t eat salad. But this one is amazing. It actually feels substantial. Like I’m eating a meal, instead of grazing on foliage. Peace out dog, word to ya mutha.
Southeast Asian Salad
There is seriously no reason other than my own love for Southeast Asia that this salad has its name. For our honeymoon, we went to Bali, Bangkok, and Koh Samui. Before I met my husband I spent a month with my dad in Vietnam and Singapore. I am completely in love with that part of the world. Two things I have on my bucket list are to go to Australia and back to Bali. The culture, the kindness of the people and the pure calm and peacefulness is enthralling. So this salad reminds me of Asia and it is so ridiculously good, you will eat the whole bowl. So make sure you’re under adult supervision and share so that others can enjoy it with you. A HUGE shout out to my Molly for turning me onto this salad during our recent Mommies & Babies gone wild trip to Catalina. I know, we’re a wild bunch people! 3 moms, 1 auntie, 1 grandma and EIGHT KIDS for a week in Catalina. Every year. 😉
Hubby’s note: The idea for this recipe was not the only thing we brought back from Southeast Asia. A prescription helped the second thing go away though.
