Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced

1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1 cup mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, and romaine)

1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Juice of 2 limes

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be your refreshing dressing.

    Combine the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, shredded or diced chicken, diced mango, shredded coconut, sliced red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and diced avocado.

      Add the Dressing: Pour the lime-olive oil dressing over the salad mix. Gently toss the salad with tongs to ensure everything is evenly coated without crushing the avocado.

        Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro over the top and give the salad one last gentle toss. If you’re using nuts for added crunch, sprinkle them over the salad now.

          Serve: Transfer the salad to individual serving bowls or plates. For a touch of elegance, you can garnish each serving with a lime wedge or additional cilantro leaves if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest taste or chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a cooler serving option.
