This salad is inspired from the TGI Fridays Caribbean chicken salad. Which is grilled chicken on top of mescalin, bell pepper slices, avocado chunks, pineapple pico, and mango chunks. And it has this amazing dressing full of cilantro and citrus flavors.
I roasted the chicken because I do not have a grill. The only seasoning I added to the chicken was some Italian Salad dressing I like. For the salad I sliced thin strips of orange bell pepper, red onion, and cucumbers. I wanted to add avocado slices, but the avocados were too hard to cut. I also had to skip the pineapple pico and the mango from lack of supplies. So if you make this you should add them because it is really awesome.
Now the real star here is the home made dressing. recipe to follow:
1/4 cup red onion
1 clove garlic
1 pinch dry ginger
1/4 cup lime juice
1/3 cup honey
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Combine in a food processor until finely chopped. then slowly drizzle in
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
And wham bamm you have an amazing salad dressing to go over one of the best salads ever.
