Directions
- Wash all produce and dry thoroughly.
- Zest the lemon into a medium bowl, then peel and mince the ginger and garlic; add them to the bowl with yogurt and the curry spices and whisk to form a marinade.
- Pat the chicken dry and toss it in the marinade until well coated.
- Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Juice the lemon into another bowl and whisk in olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a bright dressing.
- When the grill is hot, lightly oil the surface and cook the chicken until charred and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, peel and dice the mango, core and chop the apples, trim and cut the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slice the jalapeño after removing seeds and ribs; add everything to a large bowl.
- Shave cilantro leaves from the stems, rough chop, and add to the salad; pour over the dressing and toss to combine.
- To serve, divide the grilled chicken and the fruit salad between plates and enjoy.
Two tips
- Make ahead: prep the dressing and chop the salad ingredients up to a day in advance and chill.
- Serving idea: serve the salad on the side with a wedge of crusty bread or over a bed of greens.
