Mango Chicken Salad Wrap

A refreshing mango chicken salad with all the tropical fixings is perfect for a quick and nutritious lunch throughout the week.  The tart lime, coconut, yogurt and honey make this a delicious mix of tangy and sweet with a bit of crunch, and the tropical flavors remind me of sitting on the beach in the Caribbean or exploring a food market in Thailand. It’s like the ultimate trifecta for food – delicious, nutritious, and globally inspired!

I make a big batch of this mango chicken salad for lunch at home throughout the week while I’m writing and just want something quick to fix that’s also filling and nutritious.  Now, a bit more about what’s in it.  Of course, diced mango and chicken.  And since I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise, I use Greek yogurt, honey, and lime juice to make the dressing.  I also add a bit of red onion for flavor and crunch, and some unsweetened shredded coconut to thicken it and give it more of a tropical flavor.

TIP:  Let’s talk about slicing mango.  You could go the time-saving route and buy pre-sliced mango at your local grocer.  I know we’re all always looking for ways to save time, so no judgement here.  The mango sold pre-sliced is usually green mango, so it’s not as sweet and will have a bit of a crunch to it.  If it’s mango season and  you want to use fresh mango, the Simply Recipes blog has a great step-by-step tutorial with photos about how to cut a mango without loosing any fingers and minimal frustration.

**If you’re following 21 Day Fix, this recipe is Fix-friendly!  One cup serving is 1 red (protein), 1/2 purple (fruit), 1 orange (dressings/shredded coconut).  Serve it over a cup of lettuce instead of wrapping it in romaine and you’ve got 1 green (vegetable) too!  I love getting a 21 Day Fix in between trips!**

Want to see how it’s made?  Here’s a copy of the video I did on Snap Chat for my Saturday Snapisode.  (Follow me on Snap Chat under the user name “TheTravelBite”)  The audio downloaded a little out of sync (*sigh* … technology), but it will give you an idea of how quick and easy it is to make this mango chicken salad.
