Chicken and Mango Salad
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
- 1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
- Coarse salt
- 1 mango, peeled and pitted (see below), then diced
- 1/4 cup packed cilantro
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon curry powder, preferably Madras
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ripe, firm avocado, halved lengthwise, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1 large bunch watercress, tough stems removed (about 3 cups)
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- In a shallow pan large enough to hold chicken in a single layer, whisk together oil, vinegar, and mustard; add chicken, turning to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Heat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 4 to 5 seconds).
- Lightly oil the grates.
- Lift chicken from marinade and discard any remaining marinade.
- Sprinkle chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly.
- Grill chicken until cooked through and opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
- For the dressing: In a blender, combine mango, cilantro, mint, curry powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the vinegar; season with pepper.
- Puree until smooth.
- With the motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified.
- Slice chicken crosswise.
- Arrange on a platter or four serving plates (dividing evenly), along with avocado, watercress, and onion; serve the dressing on the side.
- Holding mango on a cutting board with a paper towel, use a vegetable peeler to remove skin.
- With a sharp knife, slice off wide, flat part of fruit on both sides of pit, cutting lengthwise.
- Discard peel and pit.
