Mama loves mango... papa loves mango.... that's really supposed to be mambo, but its a theme around here. We've taken to throwing mango into just about everything.

Mango Chicken Salad
1 leftover breast of chicken
12 oz mixed salad greens (mizuna & arugula add a nice peppery flavor)
1 large mango- cut into chunks
cucumber slices
mint
carrot shreds

for the dressing:
3tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sesame oil
salt
pepper
1 tsp thai chili garlic sauce

Mango milk shake
2 very ripe mangos
1 pint best quality ice cream

Blend- super decadent. For a less caloric version substitute plain yogurt and 2 tsp honey.
