  1. What kind of chili garlic sauce are you recommending? I see many different options, some sweet, some not so much. Also, are you recommending we blend the viniagrette? I see "peeled" garlic cloves.

    Looks amazing and I am making it for dinner with grilled salmon. Substituting spinach and cabbage for kale. Can't wait! (Looks like garlic needs to be minced since vinaigrette isn't going to be blended...)

    This salad was a fresh dinner hit tonight! Made a few substitutions (spinach instead of kale, almonds instead of cashews) just with what I had on hand. Fresh sourdough on the side 🙂

  4. 5 stars
    Honestly, a perfect salad. I'm not a huge mango fan so I usually leave it out and it still has a nice balance of flavors.
