Spinach Quinoa Mango Salad Recipe with Chicken
Easy, power Mango Salad where Mediterranean flavors meet the All-American South! A satisfying entree salad that packs flavor from a zesty lemon-ginger vinaigrette and BBQ pulled chicken from Farm Rich Smokehouse!
Many of you will agree on this: successful dinners are often the ones that come together on a whim. Quickly, and with as little hassle as possible. After all, they are more about the people. The food kinda comes next to boost the experience.
Today’s mango salad with spinach, quinoa, and BBQ chicken fits the bill for a fuss-free dinner that’s all about the people. It’s one I served on the first day of school when all I wanted to do was gather my littles so that I can hear how this important day went for them. And as you can imagine, my wide-eyed first grader beat everyone to the table, while talking at the speed of light!
So this mango salad situation…It is basically a supper salad with a balanced fusion of bright Mediterranean flavors and authentically Southern American BBQ. The Farm Rich Smokehouse pulled chicken had been smoked in an apple-wood BBQ sauce for something like 10 hours! In this salad, it’s sweetness is enhanced with the diced mangoes, while power ingredients like spinach, peppery arugula, and bitter radicchio add freshness and balance. The hero bringing this mango salad together is my zesty lemon-ginger vinaigrette with a hint of honey!
With ingredients rich in vitamins and antioxidants, I would put this mango salad right up there as a power salad. Plus the quino and Farm Rich Smokehouse pulled chicken make it more filling by adding needed protein.
Quality, all natural, ready-made products like Farm Rich Smokehouse can be a lifesaver in the kitchen! I found the pulled chicken in the freezer section at my local Publix store; you can look here to see where you can find it in your area.
