Tropical Salad With Mango, Avocado, and Chicken

Tropical Salad With Mango, Avocado, and Chicken

Few snacks are as uniquely refreshing as the combo of juicy fruit and peppery chili powder in our recipe for Tropical Salad with Mango, Avocado, and Chicken.

I’m really into this union of cumin, chili powder, and fresh serrano chili as a dressing. It’s fresh and complex, the way a great dressing should be. The savory heat of this sauce cuts the sweetness of the mango and pineapple, while the buttery avocado pulls the disparate flavors together.

This tropical salad recipe is one I’d definitely bust out at a potluck and I recommend you try it at your next one. Just remember to keep the dressing and salad separate until serving because contrary to popular belief, you can make friends with salad — but not with soggy mango.

Beyond being a crowd pleaser, this medley of flavor and good-for-you fruits, herbs, and lean protein can also be enjoyed solo.
