Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Mango Salsa Salad with Chipotle Lime Dressing.
Step 1
Start by preparing the mango salsa. In a large bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and give it a gentle toss. Set this vibrant salsa aside to let the flavors meld together.
Step 2
Next, let's whip up the chipotle lime dressing. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 1/4 cup of lime juice, white sugar, chipotle chile powder, cumin, and garlic powder until well combined. This dressing will add a delightful kick to your salad!
Step 3
Now, in another large bowl, toss together the baby spinach leaves, broccoli coleslaw mix, diced chicken, and the colorful bell peppers. Add in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans for a touch of sweetness and crunch.
Step 4
To assemble, spread the mango salsa generously over the top of the salad mixture. Crumble the blue cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 5
Finally, drizzle the chipotle lime dressing over the entire salad. Toss everything together gently to ensure each bite is bursting with flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and satisfying dish!
