This Strawberry Mango Salad with lime poppy seed dressing will be your new favorite. Add grilled chicken (or another protein source) for the most refreshing summer salad meal.

Loaded Summer Salads are the Best

If you don’t love salads, you’re not doing it right! A satisfying salad should be *loaded up* with all the things.

When it comes to salad ingredients, you can easily omit and add based on your tastebuds. Below I’ve included a list of ingredients to give this salad lots of texture and flavor.

Mango Strawberry Salad Ingredients

• spinach, arugula and romaine – I like a mix of these salad greens for flavor and crunch from the chopped romaine.
• strawberries – wouldn’t be a summer salad without ’em!
• mango – pairs wonderfully with the strawberries. So refreshing too. Mandarin oranges would be an easy sub as well.
• avocado – healthy fats, creamy texture, deliciousness.
• red onion – slice them up really small for subtle flavor. Or omit if you’re not a fan.
• grilled chicken – grilled chicken on salads during the summer are super satisfying. Salmon or even a white fish would go well here too. If plant based, simply omit or choose something like chickpeas or tempeh for your protein source.
• goat cheese – the creamy goat cheese goes really well with the chicken and fruit. Easy to omit, or replace with feta if you prefer.
• sliced almonds – a little crunch! You could also do walnuts or sunflower seeds to keep nut free.

How to Cut a Mango

1. Find the stem and have that be at the top. Place your knife about 1/4″ away from the center and slice vertically.
2. Repeat this same slice on the other side.
3. The through the flesh of the mango, making a grid pattern.
4. Scoop out the mango cubes using a large spoon.
