Chicken, Kiwi, and Mango Salad

This recipe was not successful for Jim. He would have liked twice the chicken or half the fruit. I liked it, but then I don’t consider fruits and vegetables poison. This easily serves 4 and even though it was in the December Bon Appetite, best for warm climates.
Ingredients:
2T finely grated ginger
½ C mayonnaise or yogurt
1T fresh lime juice
1 t finely grated lime peel
2C cooked diced chicken from store bought rotisserie chicken
1 ½ pounds large mangos peeled, pitted, cut into ½” cubes (I used frozen, thawed and drained)
1 ¼# kiwis, peeled, cut into ½” cubes
1T sliced fresh mint
6 C chopped romaine lettuce
¼ C roasted salted cashews, halved
Directions:
Place grated ginger in small strainer set over bowl. Press on solids to extract 4t of ginger juice; discard solids in strainer. Stir mayo, ginger juice, lime juice, and lime peel in the bowl. Add chicken, mango, and kiwi. Divide lettuce among four plates or bowls and divide mound the mixture on top. Garnish with cashews and mint.
