I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much dressing.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the dressing and it helped a lot.

This salad is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken from the night before and it worked perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of mango, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful that it balances out the sweetness of the mango.
