  • 1/2 cup mango preserves (jam or chutney)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, avocado oil, or other nutty or fruity oil

  • 4 ounces cooked chicken ,sliced (or other protein)
  • Assorted julienned or chopped raw vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries and blueberries, or freeze-dried fruits, optional
