Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced

1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup)

Salt and pepper to taste

3 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and lettuce)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Ingredients: Start by cooking the chicken breast ahead of time. You can poach, grill, or bake it until fully cooked, then allow it to cool before shredding or dicing it into bite-sized pieces.

    Mango and Avocado: Dice the mango and avocado, placing them in a medium-sized bowl. Be gentle while mixing since the avocado can become mushy.

      Combining Vegetables: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro to the mango and avocado mixture.

        Dressing Creation: In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Adjust according to your taste preferences.

          Mixing the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the mango-avocado mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently until everything is well coated.

            Serving: To serve, place a generous handful of mixed greens on each plate. Top with the mango avocado chicken salad mixture for a refreshing, colorful dish.

              Garnishing: Optional: Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor and visual appeal.
