If anything I would go with just a light balsamic viniger no oil it will weight down the fruits!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think you would enjoy one of these 2 dressings!. They're both very easy to make and nice and light to go with your salad ingredients!. I'd probably lean toward the Almond-Orange dressing!. In fact, you might like to add some almonds, walnuts or pecans to your salad for the extra flavor and crunch!
ALMOND - ORANGE SALAD
1/4 cup salad oil
2 T!. white wine vinegar
2 T!. sugar
1/4 tsp!. almond extract
Torn Greens - leaf or bibb lettuce, spinach, etc!.
2-3 medium oranges - remove rind and slice or chunk
(or use mandarin oranges)
1 cup celery - sliced
2 T!. onions or chives - sliced
1/3 cup toasted almonds
Mix dressing together!. Wash greens and arrange on individual serving dishes!. Top with the other items, then add with dressing!. Or toss together in one bowl and serve!.
CITRUS DRESSING FOR SALADS
1/3 cup fresh Orange or Grapefruit Juice
2 Tbs!. Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbs!. Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients!. Use on salads of your choice!.

take some of the mango to make 'chilli mango dressing' only mild but it gives it a little spice and goes very well with chicken,the cheese doesnt sound right to me perhaps something creamier like brie ( but thats my opinion only ) Good luck with the in-laws! xx ohh,you could combine nuts,pine or cashew to add a different texture and giving the salad more depth!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
a light vinaigrette!. maybe some champagne vinegar with a top quality olive oil, a little salt, a little white pepper, thyme, and basil!.
another option is a strawberry vinaigrette, just don't know how to make that one, or where you might be able to buy it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You have a lot of sweet flavours in there so you want to offset that!. Something mild!.!. balsamic without being too strong! Look for a light colored dressing!.!.!. less flavour in them and something without "pulp"Www@FoodAQ@Com
an asian dressing all the way!!! with seasoned rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, pepper, some garlic powder, a little bit of honey or sugar!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
put liquirice and marmelade and half a litre of coca cola, that'll fit the mangoes and the chicken!
