Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Salad can be made ahead of time. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

How to Cut Mangos

Cut mango into 2 pieces, just clearing the long flat pit. Score flesh into squares of desired size, cutting up to, but not through, the skin. Press skin so cut-side pops outward; cut between cubes and skin to remove fruit.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with baked tortilla chips.

Looking forward to trying this recipe although some of the comments made me want to 'research' for another dressing, think I would add more Lime juice, garlic seasoning and maybe a little Jalapeno Pepper... I will see how it works out...

This dish was ok and while both my husband and I ate it I would not make it again. The flavor was not quite right...I'm just not sure the Italian dressing seasoning is the best choice. I'm disappointed because the ingredients make a great low-carb meal.

I do NOT recomend this recipe. I followed the directions exactly and after 2 bites decided to order pizza instead. Very disappointing. The flavors just don't go together at all. I hate to waste food but I just couldn't eat any more.

This was easy and delicious. I used frozen mango chunks instead of fresh ones as I've never had too much success trying to work with fresh ones and often they are not available in my area.

This recipe is very fresh. My husband and I enjoy it with tortilla chips and homemade guacamole or white rice on the side. I do not include the cilantro, and it is still very flavorful.

This was great ... I didn't use cilantro and I used grilled chicken strips from the freezer section

I don't usually like mango's but I gave this a try. It was awesome! A perfect light dish and great if you are trying to watch your calories. I just had leftovers again for dinner tonight. My picky 5 year old loved it!

I made this salad for a BBQ – It was a hit. The following day I made pasta & tossed the remains and served it up. Yummy! A keeper for sure!
