Mango Chicken Spinach Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Arrange almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly toasted.
• In a small bowl, mix red wine vinegar, maple flavored balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dry mustard, tarragon, salt, and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, toss the red wine vinegar mixture with the spinach and mangos. Top with the toasted almonds.

Steps:

• Toss spinach with mangos, avocados and onions in large bowl.
• Add dressing; mix lightly.

Steps:

• Stir together all of the ingredients for the dressing. Set aside if you want a cold (thinner) dressing.
• If you want a thicker dressing, place the dressing in a small sauce pan and simmer until it is about to boil. Mix water and cornstarch together into a slurry and add to dressing. Mix until it just begins to thicken.
• Transfer the dressing (warm or cold) into a large bowl.
• Heat broth with ground ginger in a small nonstick skillet. Season chicken to taste with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cover and simmer is cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Clean spinach. Dice the red pepper (if using) into 1/2 inch pieces. If using the red onion, slice very thin into half moon shapes. Peel the cucumber and half lengthwise. Cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Add all vegetables to the large bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to serving bowl or plates.

Steps:

• Make dressing:
• In a bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients except oil. Add oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk until emulsified. (Dressing may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.)
• In a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag coat chicken with 3 tablespoons dressing. (Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, 2 hours.)
• Heat an oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and grill chicken, drained, until cooked through, about 7 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a platter and cool. (Chicken may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.)
• Cut chicken into 1/4-inch-thick slices and in a large bowl combine with remaining ingredients. Drizzle remaining dressing over salad and toss gently to combine well.

Steps:

• Heat broth in a small nonstick skillet.
• Add chicken in one layer; cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.

• (To cut a mango, spear the fruit with a large fork. Hold it in place on a cutting board and peel with a paring knife. Cut off thick slices of fruit, then dice.) Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and arrange over mangoes.
• In a bowl, stir together nectar, mustard, curry powder, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.
• Pour over salad and toss; serve.
