Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Shred the Chicken: If using grilled chicken breasts, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. If using rotisserie chicken, remove the skin and shred the meat.
Chop the Vegetables: Dice the mango, avocado, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes and set all the ingredients aside.
Wash the Lettuce: Rinse the mixed lettuce under cold water and spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl or a mason jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, and honey (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using a jar, seal and shake until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
Layer the Greens: In a large salad bowl or platter, start by adding the mixed lettuce as the base.
Add the Ingredients: Layer the shredded chicken, diced mango, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the lettuce.
Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and pecans (if using) over the top of the salad for a fresh and crunchy finish.
Step 4: Dress the Salad
