Ingredients

For the Grilled Chicken

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 6 Chicken Thighs skinless and boneless
  • 1/2 cup Mango Cilantro Dressing

For the Salad

  • 5 cups Lettuce roughly chopped
  • 2 Cucumbers diced
  • 1 Bell Pepper sliced thinly
  • 1 Ripe Avocado sliced or cubed
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Mango Cilantro Salad Dressing

Instructions

  • Start by marinating the chicken in half a cup of mango cilantro salad dressing. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Add olive oil to a grill pan, and cook the chicken for 15 minutes, turning halfway. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • To assemble the salad, add lettuce, cucumbers, bell peppers, avocado, cilantro and grilled chicken to a large bowl. Pour the dressing on top and toss to combine. Serve immediately or the salad will get soggy.

Notes

  1. Here's the recipe for the mango cilantro dressing from my last post
  2. We feel half a cup of dressing for this salad size is enough, but feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your liking
  3. If the dressing is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water and shake to thin it out before adding it to the salad
  4. If serving the salad later, add the dressing just before serving or the salad will become soggy
