Grilled Chicken Mango Salad

Recipe Description

This Grilled Chicken Mango Salad is one of my all-time favorite summer meals. It is full of healthy ingredients like avocado, cucumber, pepper, and grilled chicken. The mango in the recipe name refers to my Creamy mango cilantro salad dressing which is the perfect dressing for this flavorful salad.

This summer salad couldn’t be easier to make. Start by marinating chicken in mango cilantro salad dressing. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes. Once marinated, grill the chicken and set aside to rest before slicing. Assemble the salad in a large bowl and add the grilled chicken. Pour the dressing over top and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.

To make my version of Grilled Chicken Mango Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
