Chicken & Mango Salad

I would have been quite sad if this recipe didnt make it onto the blog because I really want to make it again. Must not be so careless with my blogging habits or else recipes like this might be lost to me forever!!!! Can you make a new years resolution in July???? Must make sure I blog at least once a week so I dont get so far behind. Can I blame it on the heat?
