Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy mangoes. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet, fragrant smell.
- If you don't have any Dijon mustard, you can substitute another type of mustard, such as yellow or brown mustard. However, Dijon mustard has a sharper, more tangy flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the mango.
- You can add other ingredients to your chicken salad, such as chopped celery, red onion, or grapes. Just be sure to keep the proportions of the main ingredients the same.
- If you're making the chicken salad ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Chicken salad with Dijon and mango is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet mango, tangy Dijon mustard, and creamy mayonnaise is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new chicken salad recipe, give this one a try.
