LUNCH BOX'S MANGO CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD

This is from The Lunch Box Restaurant courtesy of The Fort Worth Star Telegram. I did make this salad, and I all I can say is that it tastes as good as it looks. It probably is too "light" for the men, but it would make a lovely dish for a salad luncheon or potluck.
