A twist on the standard chicken salad, this dish can be served hot or cold, as a side or as a main.
This malleability makes the rice salad a favorite with my family, and slices of beef or shrimp can be substituted for the chicken to add a new flavor or a twist.
Tropical fruits have some of the lowest pesticide rates and mangos are on the ‘clean top 10’ list.
Choose free range chicken not only for the incredible flavor, but also the reduction in fats that come from conventional poultry meat.
