Happy Tuesday! I have so many recipes to jam in this summer that I am going to be posting even more frequently to take advantage of all this incredible produce!
Summer is always the very easiest for me to develop recipes. Like I can’t get enough of all these gorgeous fruits and vegetables! I am kind of having inappropriate panic over watching some of my favorites trickling out. Like all of the sudden Cherries and apricots are harder to find. But there are still delectables peaches, blackberries, Figs and gorgeous ripe mangos!
I made this creamy mango dressing to go with this Chicken Chop Chop Salad. Sweet, Bright and a tiny bit spicy will bring this crunchy fresh salad to life!
It is the perfect light Dinner, a salad for two, (and what we had for dinner last night) Enjoy…
To make this Chicken Chop Chop Salad with Creamy Mango Vinaigrette, this is what you do:
Combine the lettuce, cabbage, corn, chili, cilantro and avocado chunks.
Next add the shredded chicken and top with the Creamy Mango Vinaigrette.
To Make the Creamy Mango Vinaigrette, combine all of the ingredients in the blender and puree until smooth.

Heather, I just adore chop chop salads and yours looks irresistible with that lovely creamy mango dressing of yours! Thank you for sharing!
That creamy mango Vinaigrette sounds so good. This whole salad sound so good!! YUM!
I’m in love with this dressing! Such a gorgeous salad!
Beautiful salad Heather. We have a great local place that does all chopped salads so I’ve become a fan…now it’s time to try it at home and this would be a great one to use for that trial!
Yes please to salads with great texture an mango dressing!
This looks heavenly for me…all the flavors I like – mango, cilantro, avocado…I am so going to try this.
I adore a good chopped salad! Love the cilantro in this … and the mango dressing will be fun to try! Perfect in this hot weather we’ve been having …
I made this mango vinaigrette on Sunday night to serve over a taco salad — the flavor is out-of-this-world good! So good, in fact, that my family requested taco salad again Monday night and so I made it again using the other half of the mango — incredible again!! Thanks so much for this, I’m going to make the dressing again today but am thinking about using plum instead of mango just for fun!
Love this mango vinaigrette…the salad looks looks incredible and super healthy.
This salad is so DELICIOUS and the dressing is AMAZING! This fresh salad is a keeper!
This is fantastic! I have been craving a chopped salad for days and now I have no excuse not to make one! LOVE the mango dressing!
Wow, this is the prettiest salad ever! I came from another site to pin it. Would LOVE it if you’d stop by and share it on my blog hop. We’re live right now! 🙂
This was DELICIOUS! I love the dressing, it was just perfect! We added a side of pita chips… YUM YUM YUM!
