This healthy and refreshing salad is the perfect dinner choice for a busy summer weeknight. If you have some chicken cooked already, you can bang this out in less than 10 minutes. It’s packed with protein (chicken); vitamins and iron (spinach) and anti-oxidants (mango). Feel free to toss in some sliced almonds or walnuts for some crunch! Enjoy!
