Avocado Chicken Mango Salad With Hazelnut Honey Dressing
- 5 chicken breast fillets, skins removed
- 750 ml chicken stock
- 2 12 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 ripe avocado
- 100 g baby spinach leaves
- 100 g toasted hazelnuts
- 2 12 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 2 12 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 lime, finely grated rind and juice
- 2 12 tablespoons clear honey
- 2 12 tablespoons soy sauce, sodium reduced
- Place the chicken breasts in a pan, add the stock and lime juice, bring to the boil, then simmer for 20-25, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon, set aside in a bowl and allow to cool.
- Cut the chicken into thin strips.
- Halve the avocado, remove the stone, peel the flesh and slice finely; halve the mango, remove the stone, peel the flesh and slice finely.
- In the serving bowl, toss the avocado, mango, chicken and baby spinach leaves.
- Hazelnut Honey Dressing: Roughly chop the nuts, whisk the oils, lime rind and juice, honey and soy sauce in a jug, then stir in the nuts.
- Serving: Pour the Hazelnut Honey Dressing over the avocado, mango, chicken and spinach mixture, and toss lightly until all the salad ingredients are well coated and serve with warm crusty rolls.
- Variation: For extra flavour, add some stir-fried, peeled tiger prawns to the salad mixture just before adding the Hazelnut Honey Dressing.
- Chef's Notes: If you are unable to find toasted nuts, dry-fry the raw nuts in a heavy-based pan for 5 minutes over a low heat, shaking regularly.
- If you are adding the tiger prawns, depending on how many you add, you may want to make a slightly larger quantity of the dressing.
- Hazelnut Fact: Hazelnuts are also known as filberts.
- According to tradition, the nuts are ripe for picking on 22 August, the feast day of Saint Philibert.
- I'm not sure which hemisphere this refers to.
- The original source of this recipe - and this 'fact' - is Australian, but I don't believe that there are any Australian Saint Philiberts!
- He's most probably a European saint.
