Strawberry Mango Grilled Chicken Salad

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

It’s grilling season! I got my husband a Char-Broil Gas2Coal grill for Father’s Day, and he’s loving it (and no, this isn’t a sponsored post)! He’s made so many yummy grilled dinners the last few weeks, including some delicious grilled chicken! We can’t eat a whole chicken in one meal so there’s always leftovers. I considered freezing the excess for later, but then I thought why not use it to make a quick, delicious salad! If you have any extra grilled chicken on hand, you have to make my Strawberry Mango Grilled Chicken Salad!

I love grilled chicken just as much as I love salads with fruit in them- and that is to say I love them a lot! So by combining the two I’ve essentially created my favorite salad ever! Top it with my homemade honey lemon vinaigrette and you’ve got a light, healthy, and wonderfully flavorful summer salad.

Of course, you don’t have to use home-grilled chicken to make your strawberry mango grilled chicken salad. This would be equally quick to make using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. And you can definitely swap out my vinaigrette for your favorite salad dressing. But I suggest you give it a try. Homemade dressing is so easy to mix up, and this vinaigrette tastes so good mixed with the other ingredients!

Honey Lemon Vinaigrette

Whisk together 3 Tbsp. of olive oil, 1 Tbsp. of honey, 1 tsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp of red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp of lemon zest, 1 tsp of chopped thyme, salt (to taste) and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste) and set aside. I like to keep mine in a salad dressing shaker, so I can easily shake it up to re-mix the ingredients if they settle.
