Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup frozen (thawed) nonalcoholic margarita mix
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 lb)
6 cups bite-size pieces assorted salad greens
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 medium mango, peeled, pitted and sliced
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. To make dressing, in small bowl, stir margarita mix, oil and vinegar with wire whisk until well blended. Measure 1/4 cup dressing for basting chicken; reserve remaining dressing for serving.
  • Cover and grill chicken over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with 1/4 cup dressing, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
  • Cut chicken into slices. In large bowl, toss salad greens, chicken and strawberries; divide among 4 plates. Arrange mango and avocado around each salad. Sprinkle with cilantro. Drizzle with reserved dressing.
