These are great lettuce wraps! I left out the onions as I don't care for them, and used green pepper instead of red as that's what I had on hand. The sweet/savory/crunchy is a great combination. Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
Can you say AWESOME? This was great! I didn't do wraps, I did salad - and used spring mix in place of the butter lettuce as my grocery didn't have any worth buying! I took starry's advice and used - Recipe#31840 - for the dressing. The dressing was a bit heavy, but the flavors of the red pepper and mango shone through wonderfully. This is a great salad for our hot summer months and easy to put together too. We thoroughly enjoyed this salad - I was surprised how good it was.

Served as a salad. The mango makes this so refreshing. -
This is such a pretty dish! The red of the peppers, orange of the mango, bright green of the onions and lettuce, and tan of the chicken combine to make a gorgeous meal for the eyes, even before you dig in. The chopped nuts add a textural element that makes this dish shine.A real key to this dish is the dressing, so make sure you choose one that you love. This was the perfect size for a light lunch, with a cool glass of rose wine on the side. Instead of making wraps, which I find messy to eat, I made a salad out of this, serving on top of the lettuce instead of wrapped in it. While eating, we thought of a couple variations we'd like to try (not better, just different)- basil dressing instead of cilantro; pineapple instead of (or along with) the mango. I did make one significant change- I served this at room temp rather than chilled. I felt that serving chilled would mute some of the flavors; and since it's a cold, rainy day, a chilled salad just didn't sound as appealing as it would on a hot summer day.

Delicious, and so pretty with all of the colors! I used Recipe #31840 for the dressing. A great, cool meal for a summer's night. Thanks for sharing!
