Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (about 400g)
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 100g mixed salad greens
- 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and the ground cumin. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then rest for 5 minutes and slice.
While the chicken rests, whisk the lime juice, lime zest, remaining olive oil, honey and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth and slightly thickened.
Peel and dice the mango, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the red onion into thin rings.
Put the mixed greens, mango, cherry tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl and toss them together.
Add the sliced chicken, drizzle over the lime dressing and toss gently so everything is lightly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve straight away while the chicken is still warm.
