Mango Chicken Salad with Homemade Dressing is a vibrant and refreshing dish combining sweet mango, savory grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and crunchy vegetables, topped with a zesty homemade dressing.

Ingredients

2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled or rotisserie), sliced

1 large ripe mango, diced

4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, romaine)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cucumber, thinly sliced

¼ red onion, finely sliced

1 avocado, diced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced cooked chicken, diced mango, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and diced avocado. Toss gently to mix everything together.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  3. Drizzle the homemade dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients with the dressing.
  4. Garnish the salad with fresh cilantro (if using) and serve immediately. Add extra toppings like nuts, seeds, or cheese if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with chickpeas or roasted tofu.

For extra crunch and nutrition, top with toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds.

If you prefer a spicier salad, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing.

This salad is best served fresh, but the dressing can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
