I tried and enjoyed this salad and I plan to serve the salad to dinner guests. I will substitute raspberry vinegar and add one more mango because the mango I used was small. The recipe is a nice blend of flavors. I used half the salt.

This was absolutely delicious! I did have to make a few changes, left out the black beans because I was out, omitted garlic (due to a guest allergy) and added a dash of dry mustard to the dressing. I used leftover roasted chicken, marinated in the dressing for a couple of hours in the refrigerator before adding fruit. Also added diced papaya and mandarin oranges. Would also be great with either almonds or chopped cashews. Served with sourdough Wasa bread. A huge hit! Will definitely serve again!!! I also think the dressing would be amazing on a fruit salad.

YUM! This is so good. I fixed it per the recipe, and it is delicious. Next time I make it, and there will be a next time, I think I will marinate the chicken overnight. I will also make more of the marinade/dressing because I thought the lettuce could use a little dressing (but that's just personal taste). I might also marinate the black beans in some of the dressing to give them more of the yummy taste. Thanks for sharing - very good salad recipe!

I thought this was way to sweet. I would've liked to eat the mango by itself.

I loved this...but felt it needed one more little thing...some thinly sliced purple onion. It added a nice color and great flavor. This one is a keeper.

This was amazing. Very fresh and beautiful. I doubled the dressing and added chopped cilantro. My husband and son wouldn't try it - too colorful and healthy looking for their picky tastes... So I ended up eating it 3 days straight. The first and second days were equally wonderful, but by the third day things got a little mushy and watery.

I don't normally love salads, especially for dinner, but this was soooo good! I loved every bite. I didn't make any changes - I just left out the jicama. I will definitely be making this again. It's tasty, healthy, and easy to make. What more could you ask for?

This is an excellent salad. The grilled chicken was so good. I marinated it overnight because I really wanted it to have a good flavor. The first time I made it I bought jicama and was very disappointed with it. I left it out the second time. I added red onion and used a variety of peppers to help with cost. I made this for a baby shower for 40 women. I would suggest using half the beans and either use more mango or add pineapple. I even had a little marinade left over for another time.
