There used to be a small cafe in Los Angeles that did the best mango-chicken salads around. Unfortunately, Mäni's Cafe & Bakery has recently closed, so I decided to make my own version, inspired by their signature salad. The combination is the perfect blend of polar-opposite flavors: tangy, sweet, chilled mangoes with grilled, savory, warm chicken. I whipped up a quick red wine vinaigrette (red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper), and tossed the arugula with cubed avocados and laid the sliced mango and chicken on top.
