To make a jerk chicken salad, you will need:
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Jerk seasoning
- Olive oil
- Mixed greens
- Red bell pepper
- Red onion
- Corn
- Black beans
- Avocado
- Mango
- Cilantro
- Lime juice
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
To cook the chicken for your jerk chicken salad, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with jerk seasoning and brush with olive oil. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and adding to the salad.
Yes, this recipe can easily be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken and doubling the amount of beans. You can also add in some extra vegetables like roasted sweet potatoes or plantains for more flavor and texture.
We recommend using a simple dressing of lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add in a splash of hot sauce or mango puree for extra flavor. Alternatively, you can use a store-bought jerk or mango vinaigrette dressing.
Yes, you can prepare all the ingredients ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. When ready to serve, simply assemble the salad and add the dressing. However, we recommend waiting to slice and add the avocado until right before serving to prevent it from browning.
