Chicken Mango Salad w/Lemon Aioli

Chicken Mango Salad w/Lemon Aioli
This Chicken Mango Salad with homemade Lemon Aioli is a simple and light lunch or dinner option. If you haven't tried the popular chicken and mango combo before we highly recommend you do as it tastes soooo good!

The Lemon Aioli also tastes divine thanks to the addition of our Organic Chia Seed Extra Virgin Oil which has a lovely, mild flavour. It is also a great source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids which help keep your skin, hair and nails healthy. If you've got a spare few minutes during the day this aioli recipe is a delicious and easy way to incorporate more omega-3's into you and your family's diet. You will also be saving yourself from the highly processed vegetable oils used in regular store brought aioli which can throw your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio out of balance. It is a very versatile dressing and great with homemade kumara chips or drizzled over fresh pan-fried fish.
