Mango Avocado Quinoa Chicken Salad

This gorgeous, super flavorful mango avocado quinoa chicken salad is one of my favorite summer lunches or light dinners. It’s just sweet enough from fresh chunks of ripe mango and is balanced by a citrusy, lime-based dressing infused with a little spice to keep things interesting. You’ll also add fresh tomatoes, avocado, and shredded chicken to round this salad into a filling meal that’s perfect to pack up for lunches or to bring to a picnic.

You can play around with the ingredients, the spice level, and more, adjusting it to suit your family’s tastes. I hope you love this salad as much as I do!
