Light, fresh and zesty... our Thermomix Chicken & Mango Salad ticks all the boxes!
This yummy salad is a variation on a Donna Hay recipe (and I loooove Donna Hay's recipes!!). I've made a few changes to the original recipe and have of course converted it to the Thermomix!
So to make this yummy Thermomix Chicken & Mango Salad you start off by chopping the cabbage and then setting it aside. Then it's simply a matter of steaming the chicken breasts in the Varoma, and then shredding them in the Thermomix bowl.
While the chicken is cooking, prep your sauce and the remaining salad ingredients and then mix them all together. Top with chopped green chilli and cashew nuts. DELICIOUS!!
