"This dish was inspired by the street vendors who sell mangoes-on-a-stick and other delicious snacks in Chicago's Latino neighborhoods. It's simple, refreshing, colorful, a little bit unusual, and perfect as a side dish at a summer barbecue." -Katie Schnorr, Forestville, WI

This is a simple and delicious healthy alternative to a dessert and is very satisfying. Great textures and colors! I've made this salad many, many times and it never disappoints. Great with Asian cuisine or BBQ.02/13/05
