Author Notes
This is one of those "everything but the kitchen sink" recipes. Add, subtract, substitute to your heart's desire! Swap out dried mangoes for apricots, macadamias for almonds, toss in dried cherries or golden raisins, toss in some shredded chicken for a meatier main dish...endless possibilities!
I honestly wasn't quite sure it would come together but somehow it all works. It's now one of my most requested recipes! —Stephanie
