Summary

This superfood salad is packed with antioxidants and bright, summery flavors. Pair it with a grilled chicken dish, like these Grilled Lime Chicken Fajitas, or fish, like this Grilled Salmon with Mango and Tomato Salsa.

Looking for an easier way to make salad dressing? Add all of the dressing ingredients to a jar with a lid. Screw the lid on tightly and shake well until everything is combined. If you're making this salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until right before serving.
