Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Mixed greens for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If you haven't done so already, cook the chicken breast (grilled, poached, or rotisserie works great) and allow it to cool before shredding or dicing it into bite-sized pieces.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

      Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the shredded chicken, diced mango, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and chopped cilantro.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss all the ingredients together using a spatula or large spoon, ensuring the avocado stays intact as much as possible.

          Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.

            Serve: If desired, serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens for added crunch and nutrition.

              Garnish: Add a few extra cilantro leaves on top for garnish and serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
