For the Salad
- 8 ounces cooked chicken, sliced or diced (Note 1)
- 3 ounces mixed salad greens
- 1 cup mango, peeled & diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced For the Lime Vinaigrette
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all of the Lime Vinaigrette ingredients in a wide-mouthed mason jar. Use a stick blender (we like this one) to emulsify the ingredients together until creamy and only small mint specks remain. You could also whisk well by hand, but be sure to chop the mint into very small pieces. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Step 2: Toss the greens in some of the Lime Vinaigrette. Divide onto plates and top each with the diced chicken, mango, avocado, tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with more vinaigrette, to taste.
- Serve: Enjoy. Any leftover vinaigrette can be stored up to 5 days.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Chicken breast or thigh will both taste great here. If preparing the chicken yourself, try seasoning it with a spicy chili powder or taco seasoning for more flavor. The chicken can be grilled, pan-cooked, or baked. Rotisserie chicken is also a good time-saving option.
