Mango & Chicken Grilled Pasta Salad
It’s mango season! If you’re like us then you’ll want to make the most of this wonderful time of year by including as much mango in your diet as possible (within reason).
Not only is mango delicious, it’s rich in vitamin C, which is vital for growth and repair in the body, and also plays a role in keeping our immune system healthy.
In addition to vitamin C, this salad’s also sporting a whopping 28 grams of protein and 7 grams of fibre per serving. So not only will this satisfy the taste buds but it’s also going to keep you from reaching for snacks soon after.
This salad is a perfect lunch or dinner option on a hot summer’s day.
