Chicken Salad with Cucumber, Red Pepper, and Honey-Mustard Dressing

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons lime juice (from about 1 lime)
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons honey mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 cups diced cooked chicken
• 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion
• 1 large mango, peeled and sliced (optional)
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon, chives, or basil
• 1/2 pound mixed salad greens (about 4 quarts)

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, mayonnaise, honey mustard, salt, and black pepper. Slowly add olive oil while whisking.
2. In a separate bowl, toss chicken, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, mango (if using), and tarragon with half of the dressing.
3. Toss the mixed salad greens with the remaining dressing.
4. Place the dressed greens on plates and top with the chicken salad mixture.

Notes:

• Look for a ripe mango with yellow and red skin that yields to gentle pressure.
• If your mango is underripe, you can ripen it by placing it in a paper bag at room temperature.
• Ripe mangoes can be refrigerated for a couple of days before using.

Suggested Pairing: Ripe Rieslings from Germany's warm Pfalz region pair wonderfully with this salad, thanks to their tropical fruit flavors and racy acidity. Enjoy the refreshing combination on a warm summer day!
