Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: sliced almonds or cashews for topping

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, season raw chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill or bake until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Once cooked, allow to cool before shredding the meat into bite-sized pieces.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, diced mango, shredded coconut, red bell pepper, red onion, spinach, and cilantro.

        Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the chicken and mango mixture. Toss gently until everything is well coated in the dressing.

          Chill (Optional): If desired, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

            Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish, and sprinkle sliced almonds or cashews on top for an extra crunch. Enjoy fresh!
