Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Mint Peach Chicken Salad.
Step 1
Start by gathering your fresh ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed peaches, cooked chicken, and chopped cucumber. This colorful mix is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor and nutrition!
Step 2
Next, let’s whip up a refreshing vinaigrette. In a blender, combine the vinegar, fresh mint leaves, sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce if you like a little kick. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fragrant. This minty dressing will elevate your salad to a whole new level!
Step 3
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the peach and chicken mixture. Gently toss everything together until the salad is well coated in that delicious dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making each bite even more delightful!
Step 4
When you’re ready to serve, fold in the diced avocado for a creamy texture that complements the salad perfectly. This step adds a rich flavor and makes the salad even more satisfying. Serve it chilled and enjoy the burst of flavors!
