I make this salad several times a year, its wonderful. Its light, has a perfect tangy/sweet taste, and anything adorned in chicken and strawberries, is awesome. I tend to leave out the mango and grill up the chicken so its really browned for the salad. Its super tasty and healthy! ~trisha
One of Trisha’s favorite summer dishes!
| 1/2 | cup frozen (thawed) nonalcoholic margarita mix |
| 1/4 | cup olive or vegetable oil |
| 2 | tablespoons white wine vinegar |
| 4 | boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 lb) |
| 6 | cups bite-size pieces assorted salad greens |
| 1 | cup sliced strawberries |
| 1 | medium mango, peeled, pitted and sliced |
| 1 | medium avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced |
| 1/4 | cup chopped fresh cilantro |
| 1. | Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. To make dressing, in small bowl, stir margarita mix, oil and vinegar with wire whisk until well blended. Measure 1/4 cup dressing for basting chicken; reserve remaining dressing for serving. |
| 2. | Cover and grill chicken over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with 1/4 cup dressing, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. |
| 3. | Cut chicken into slices. In large bowl, toss salad greens, chicken and strawberries; divide among 4 plates. Arrange mango and avocado around each salad. Sprinkle with cilantro. Drizzle with reserved dressing. |
yummy!!!!!!
That looks so good..I can’t wait to try it, we’re trying to eat healthier around here!!
I have got to try this dish, it looks perfect for a summer meal – and seeing as I live in a state where we get summer almost all year long, I need to save recipes like this!
I love this combination of flavors! I am going due next month and have had some serious salad and fruit cravings, ohh I love Mangoes too!! I will definitely have to try this one! Thanks!
This is so going on my menu!
I never would have thought to use margarita mix, but it sounds so yummy! We’ll have to try this.
MMMM this sounds so good! I bet it would be even better served with ice-cold margaritas.
That sounds delicious! I’m printing this and adding it to my “to-be-made” binder right now!
