One thing I love about it is that it’s flexible and can be adjusted to whatever you have on hand–fresh pineapple on sale? Use it! Mangoes sound like a pain? Pop open a can of mandarin oranges! Have some leftover sunflower seeds from that time your kids basically held you hostage at the grocery store unless you bought some and then they promptly forgot about them? Bam. It’s great for hot summer nights, showers or luncheons, or locking yourself in a closet and eating it by yourself because your kids are doing this (this was from a few years ago, but it’s still 100% applicable today): https://www.instagram.com/p/i2ODOYNeqV/?taken-by=kate_ourbestbites

You can grill your own Teriyaki chicken (try whipping up a batch of this Teriyaki Sauce–you can use it in this recipe, too!) or buy some pre-grilled chicken at the store. Usually I’m 100% for using rotisserie chicken in chicken salad, but this recipe tastes so much better when you used grilled chicken. Toss it together with some diced celery and green onions, a little mixture of mayonnaise and Teriyaki sauce  (you need something a little thicker like Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze or our homemade sauce), cubed mango (click here for an awesome tutorial on how to manage that pesky fruit!)!, diced pineapple (fresh is awesome, but canned works well, too), and sliced almonds or shelled sunflower seeds. Then just serve it on sliced croissants with a leaf of lettuce!
