Delicious!!! I don't like coconut so added toasted walnuts. Also! added avacado. Very healthy and tasty
This recipe is absolutely perfect......wouldn't change a thing. What a wonderful salad for summer; I will serve this for family and friends again and again.
To Irishmama, you could try substituting Italian flat leaf parsley for the cilantro--it has a much milder flavor. Or maybe half the amount of fresh basil since basil has such a strong flavor. A citrus or mint basil might be good too.
any suggestions for a CILANTRO substitute? I HATE cilantro (don't mind coriander, but cilantro tastes like SOAP to me and my family). Too bad it's such a poplular ingrediant these days.
I also widh Martha would include nutrition info with her recipes.
MovealongRuth's shark people link didn't work and I couldn't find a similar recipe searching their website.
Here is the link from Spark People showing the breakdown, and it is not too pretty:

How many caloires in the Mango chicken? Need the nutrition breakdown please (fat, carbs, calories, sodium etc)
This is so good and so easy to prepare. Great summer time dish.
Major Grey's is a brand of bottled chutney. It's a relish of sorts, with mango, raisins, curry, etc. Yummy, in other words. Usually near the mustard, ketchup and other condiments.
What is Mayor Grey's Mango Chutney?
If you have a flat griddle and you'd like a easier, more economical way to brown your coconut to an even, pretty golden color, - spread it evenly and stir frequently till you get the hue you desire.
make your own or buy it in ethnic stores for the mango chutney sub curry powder for the mustard
personally I would like an alternate ingrediant for the mustard. I can not tolerate it unless it is the tiniest bit of dry. if I can taste it I can't eat it.
Try Food TV, Alton Brown, Good Eats, has a GREAT recipe for Mango Chutney!
how about a recipe for mango chutney?
I wish you would include nutrition information with your recipes. My husband and I are both watching our fat and carbohydrate consumption.
