This is a nice main dish salad that can be prepared ahead of time and assembled at the last minute. It works well on a warm summer day. I served it with pork potstickers and a Hoisin dipping sauce.

If you don't have a smoker cooking on the grill works as well. I like the flavor the Pecan wood gives the chicken breasts and slow smoking keeps them very moist. The chicken can be served hot off the smoker/grill but I served it at room temperature which worked well. An alternative could also be using grilled shrimp instead of chicken and strawberries instead of mango.

For a wine something light and mildly sweet seemed in order. I opted for a Viansa 2008 Sonoma County Dolcetto Rose.
