Thai Salad with Coconut Curry Dressing

This is a fun salad before the nice weather is completely gone!  I had this recipe pinned for forever and finally tried it out.  We added shrimp on top to make it a meal and it was great!  I have really been liking curries lately and absolutely loved the flavor of the dressing!  And the mango is perfect, don't skip it if you can find it!
