Jalapeno Lime Chicken Salad Recipe

0 · May 29, 2014 · Lindsey Johnson · 1 Comment

Ah, summer. It’s the time of year when I want to eat salad for every meal. I hate being stuck in the kitchen over a hot stove (who doesn’t, right?), so this chicken-topped salad is a great solution. It’s filling, flavorful and incredibly delicious. Tender lettuce is topped with sliced chicken, mangos, avocado and almonds then drizzled with the simplest of vinaigrettes. It’s perfectly paired with a dry, crisp white wine, like one of Cambria’s unique wines. Plus you can make a huge batch of it and eat it throughout the week without ever stepping foot near the stove. It’s a win-win-win.

I wish I could say I picked these ingredients for their health benefits (of which there happen to be many), but I really picked them because the flavors just meld so well together. Tart mango is complemented by spicy jalapeno and creamy avocado. They’re then tossed with butter lettuce, a mellow, dreamy, superstar of a lettuce that seriously steps up any salad’s game. Lastly, it’s topped with sliced almonds and shallot for crunch, and a sweet and sour lime vinaigrette.

See? Dreamy, right?

While I mainly make this salad for the taste, it’s also loaded with health benefits thanks to ample amounts of protein, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. Because it’s such a well-rounded meal, it will keep you feeling satiated well past lunch time and hopefully keep pesky snack cravings at bay.
