Chicken and Mango Salad



This has got to be one of my fav salads! Great easy to prepare with low fat and low carbs! This recipe serves 2.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1 tsp mustard
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp honey
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salad components

6-8 cherry tomatoes
romane lettuce (add as much as you want you could also use other vegetables instead)
1 ripe medium mango
1-2 chicken breast (already cooked)
1-2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2-3 tbsp toasted slivered almonds

1. To make balsamic vinaigrette, mix all the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl, whisking till combined. (You could use your fav brand of ready made balsamic vinaigrette from the supermarkets if you prefer).

2. For the salad, place washed salad greens into a large bowl. Add cheery tomatoes (sliced into halves), chopped mangoes, shredded chicken breast, toasted almonds and parmesan cheese into the bowl. Pour over the prepared balsamic vinaigrette and serve.
