Chicken-Mango-Salsa-Salad

I love summer salads, especially this Chicken Mango Salsa Salad with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette.  So I’m sharing my favorite.  I came up with this main dish salad as a way to use up leftovers the day after we had chicken fajitas with mango salsa.  It has many layers of flavor and a fantastic homemade Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette, which you can use on just about anything.

In this post you are actually getting three recipes in one.  1) The Salad; 2) The Mango Salsa; and 3) The Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette.  I hope you enjoy all three!

I like to use either leftover fajita, blackened, or jerk chicken.  However, Rotisserie chicken would work great as well.

I was very happy that AllRecipes.com published my recipe last year.   Yes.  That’s me……Occasional Cooker on AllRecipes and now on Flavor Mosaic.  Give my recipe a try and let me know how you like it.
