Instructions
Season and Grill the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with black pepper only and grill over medium-high heat for 6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Make the Lime Dressing
Whisk together lime juice and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Add a small drizzle of olive oil if desired to smooth out the dressing. The lime juice acts as the primary flavor without any sodium.
Prepare the Salad Base
Arrange mixed greens on two large plates or in a wide salad bowl. Scatter the diced mango evenly over the greens and then arrange the avocado slices on top of the mango.
Assemble and Dress
Slice the rested grilled chicken and arrange it over the salad. Drizzle the lime cilantro dressing over everything just before serving so the greens stay crisp and the avocado does not brown.
