Hoorah! I've been searching for this recipe ever since the mango contest was announced. Finally found it last evening. Back in my catering days, Toni Clark was one of my sous chefs. She created this salad for a luncheon we did for a very important client. It became hugely popular because it is so delicious. I am so glad I can share it with all of you and give Toni the credit.
This is a great dish to take on a picnic because there's no mayonnaise in it. —ChefJune
