Tips for making the best Mango, Chicken & Avocado Salad
Grill the Chicken: If you have a BBQ or grill pan, grilling the chicken adds a smoky flavour that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the mango.
Add Some Crunch: For added texture, sprinkle some toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, or crispy chickpeas on top of the salad.
Directions
- Marinate the chicken in the marinade ingredients, then set aside in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
- Place the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl and add the sliced chicken on top.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
- Serve and enjoy!
