I made this dish for my first vegan potluck. It was easy and quick and quite popular. I eye-balled the amounts for the dressing and my dish ended up a little wet. Next time I will be more careful measuring out the oil and vinegar for better texture - my fault, not the recipe's! I might add some black olives next time too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Pretty tasty stuff. I don't think I added quite a cup of mango, but I'll change that next time around.
