Here are the ingredients for the Chicken Avocado Mango Salad:

  •  1 lb chicken breasts (about 2 medium)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce (1 head), rinsed, chopped, and dried
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 English cucumber, sliced
  • 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1/2 small purple onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds, for topping

For the Honey Vinaigrette Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

How to make Chicken Mango Avocado Salad Recipe:

1

Cut the chicken breast lengthwise into halves, season with garlic salt and pepper to your liking, then sauté in 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked (about 3 minutes per side). Remove from the pan, let it cool for 5 minutes, then slice it against the grain into strips.

2

In a large salad bowl, place the chopped romaine lettuce. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, diced mango, diced avocado, thinly sliced purple onion, and 1/4 cup of cilantro (optional; omit if you prefer).

Recipe Notes:

To prepare the Honey Vinaigrette Dressing, combine all dressing ingredients in a mason jar. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until thoroughly mixed. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. If not using the dressing immediately, shake or whisk again just before serving. Drizzle the desired amount of dressing over the Chicken Avocado Mango Salad to suit your taste preferences.
