Tangy Mango Chicken Salad

Hey there foodies! Today, I’m excited to share one of my favorite summer salad recipes with a unique twist. This tangy mango chicken salad is perfect for those warm evenings when you’re craving something light, refreshing, and bursting with flavor.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 200g chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 100g arugula
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To prepare this delicious salad, start by cooking the chicken breast until it’s fully cooked through. Shred the chicken and set it aside to cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, arugula, red onion, avocado, and shredded chicken.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until well combined. Add in the chopped cilantro and give it one final toss to incorporate the flavors.

Serve the tangy mango chicken salad chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together. The combination of juicy mango, creamy avocado, and zesty lime dressing is a true flavor explosion in every bite. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy.

For kitchen tools, you’ll need:

  • mixing bowl
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • knife
  • cutting board

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of this tangy mango chicken salad is estimated to be around 250 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top for an extra crunch and nutty flavor. It’s a small addition that really elevates the dish and adds a bit of complexity to each bite.

I hope you give this tangy mango chicken salad a try and enjoy the burst of fresh flavors it brings to your table. Feel free to customize it with your favorite seasonal fruits or veggies to make it your own. Happy cooking!
