Ingredients

  • 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced

  • 2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped - or to taste

  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves, chopped

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup lime juice

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves

  • 1 cup broccoli coleslaw mix

  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken

  • 3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper

  • 3 tablespoons diced green bell pepper

  • 2 tablespoons diced yellow bell pepper

  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries

  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Directions

  1. Mix mango, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, and juice of 1 lime in a large bowl; set aside.

  2. Whisk olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, sugar, chipotle chile powder, cumin, and garlic powder together in a bowl; set aside.

  3. Toss spinach leaves, broccoli coleslaw mix, chicken, red, green, and yellow bell peppers, cranberries, and pecans together in a large bowl.

  4. Spread mango salsa and blue cheese on top.

  5. Drizzle lime dressing over salad and toss before serving.

Cook's Note:

I recommend prechopping bell peppers and salsa ingredients in advance to save time. I also recommend using a broccoli slaw mix that includes shredded carrots and red cabbage because it makes for a beautifully colorful salad.
