How to Make Apple Mango Chicken Salad
- Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, diced apple, diced mango, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken and fruit mixture. Gently toss to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
- Serve chilled on a bed of crisp lettuce, in a warm tortilla wrap, or on your favorite greens. Garnish with extra cilantro or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for an extra touch of Caribbean flair.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
