Chicken, mango and avocado in a sesame seed oil vinaigrette.
Sesame seed oil adds a pleasant nutty taste to this salad, but because of its full flavour, it is preferable not to overdo it.

It's very difficult to know how to rate this recipe. I do not tolerate onion (especially raw) or avocado - not an allergy, but more of an intolerance (dizziness, nausea, stomach cramps). But I did use raw onion, mainly because I wanted to try out the "soak the onion in water" method - I've never heard of that. I figured maybe that would be a way I could actually tolerate raw onion. The whole salad was quite oniony - but very good flavour. This salad would be a hit for those who tolerate raw onion and enjoy them. My four children - ages 2-12 - would not touch the salad after the first bite because the oniony flavour is quite strong. And alas, I did have my usual onion intolerance symptoms - maybe not quite as strong as usual, but definitely enough for me to wish I hadn't had those onions! And my husband also has the same symptoms as me so perhaps the onions didn't agree with him either. I might try this salad again, leaving out the onions and avocados (yes, I know these are main components of the salad) - the mango and chicken did taste delicious together.
This was excellent. I used 1 tsp tandoori paste instead of curry powder. I also added 1/2 cup rice per serving and tossed it all together. So good. I left the onion out and tossed in a chopped up a tomato.
Great recipe! Loved the chicken so much, I would make it just on it's own. Served it on a bed of baby romaine - very good.
Called for a bit too much onion for my guests, however with that cut in half it is a very tasty salad. Nice with the sesame oil, however it is very strong if you add even a tiny bit too much.
Very very good. The only thing I changed, was that I cooked the onion, so they would not taste too strongly, as my husband does not like onion. He also told me he did not like avocado and was so-so about mango. He ate his plate and asked for more. I guess he does like Mango and Avocado after all!!
Much, much better than what I had imagined. Never used sesame seed oil and love it. But do not add too much: it is very intense. Will do it again. Even my kids love it.
