Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups romaine lettuce
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 large mango
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1 large avocado
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 medium grilled chicken breast
- 0.25 cup macadamia nuts
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce and fresh spinach. Tear or chop them into bite-sized pieces and combine them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the mango and cut it into thin slices. Dice the pineapple into small, bite-sized chunks. Add both to the salad bowl.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into cubes and gently add it to the salad.
Thinly slice the red onion and cucumber. Add these to the salad for a fresh, crisp texture.
Slice the grilled chicken breast into thin strips and add to the salad for protein.
Toast the macadamia nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until lightly golden and aromatic. Let them cool before adding to the salad.
Sprinkle the feta cheese over the top of the salad for a tangy, creamy element.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette dressing.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors of the Trade Winds Salad!
