Spring Salad with Mango, Chicken, Spinach & Cashews

Written by Published on Updated on May 26, 2019 in Brunch, Dinner, Lunch, Salads

Hello all!!  I hope everyone is having a good start of the week….Aren’t salads just wonderfully delicious!! 🙂 I had a few Mangos in my refrigerator, so I thought it was time to use them in a salad recipe that I make quite often and I wanted to share with you the simplicity of this salad.  I love salads, I can actually say that I love and eat almost all of sorts of salads,  except for Egg salad!  I don’t eat or like boiled eggs. 🙂  I think the last time I ate one is when I was 7 years old, 🙂  but don’t get me wrong I do cook them for recipes that only others eat. hehahhahaha

I had a bit of baked chicken leftover from the other day so I added this into the salad along with spinachhhhh!!!!…Yum, yum a delicious and healthy salad for Brunch, Lunch, Dinner or any time of the day.  I haven’t added any sort of dressing to this because I want each ingredient’s taste to stand out, so I am only adding olive oil and a bit of pepper.  🙂

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Mango (peeled sliced into cubes
  • 4 cups Spinach

  • 2 cups Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 oven baked Chicken Breast cubed
  • Olives
  • Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Cashews

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop Mango into cubes. I have always used a potato peeler to peel off the skin from the Mango because I found that it was much easier for me.
  • Cut Chicken Breast into small cubes.
  • Wash Spinach and your salads thoroughly and drain.
  • Take a large bowl and start by adding the spinach on the bottom, then continue with a layer of Iceberg, Romaine, Carrots.
  • Add in the Mango, Chicken, Olives. Top with a bit of Rucola and Olive Oil and of course Cashews to get a bit of crunchiness from your salad and or any dressing topping that you like and enjoy this fantastic salad.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    I've never had a salad with mango in it. Good thing about salads, if you don't like something you can push it to the side, and there is always someone who does like it :):) Thanks for sharing the recipe Sophie :):)

    I love the mixture of sweet mango and salad - sometimes I add some strawberries or peaches, but mango is also perfect. It looks absolutely awesome! :)
