I've had the Panera version of this dish a million times & I love it. This is a pretty good version, but not for you if you aren't the sort of person who hates the tedium of chopping lots of veggies!

***Your Amazoninan Liongoddess says: I leave the avocado out since I'm allergic to it. I also often leave out the mango because it's a pain to work with. Fresh snow pea pods & edamame are good additions. Also thinly sliced radishes.
