Lime Cumin Grilled Chicken Salad with Avocado and Mango Salsa. An incredible combination of bold flavours in one delicious and very healthy dinner salad.
This is a fantastic summer salad using a simple marinade for your grilled chicken. It also takes advantage of the mango salsa recipe previously featured on the blog.
I've included it here again as well. I love avocado with this salad but it's your choice to include it.
Cumin is Spouse's favourite spice and includes it in her soup recipes sometimes. The combination with lime here works incredibly well.

NOTE: I like to debone my own chicken breasts so that I can roast the bones and skins for stock later. I freeze them until I have enough to cover a baking sheet then use the instructions in my post on making Chicken Stock here.

Thanks for this great recipe. I served this dish to my family this evening & it was a big hit. Everybody loved the blend of flavours in the salsa.It compliments the chicken & salad so well!
You're welcome. I served it to guests a couple of days ago too and they loved it as well. That salsa is a big hit no matter what I serve it with.

Can I leave the jalapenos out? Or is there something I can put in it's place? I can't handle spicy food. I am dying to try this recipe!
You can leave them out or try replacing with a pinch of chili flakes for less heat.
