Mango, Barley, Avocado, Chicken Chopped

Why not serve a healthful as well as delicious meal for Mother’s Day. You’ll make her happy inside and out! Not to mention you and your guests. You won’t find this meal in a buffet line or as a menu item. Plus no fighting “the worst holiday restaurant crowds” of the year. No stress when you can Chop a Chopped! :)

Bowl Ingredients:
4 cups Arugula, Chopped
1 Ripe Mango, Chopped

Zing Factors:

1/2 cup Sauerkraut, Chopped. I add this ingredient for a little extra tang and probiotic qualities.

Chopped Style Dressing Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1-2 Garlic Cloves, finely Chopped. Fresh garlic has the most health benefits. It only take a few seconds to chop a couple of cloves.
1/2 teaspoon Molasses. Honey is a good option

1/2 teaspoon dried Dill
Kosher or Sea Salt to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

Zing Factors: Not so much for flavor, but for their super antioxidant and high fiber qualities.
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Chia Seeds

Bowl Ingredients Prep: Chop’em and Drop’em into a Large Serving Bowl ncluding the Sauerkraut, if desired. Serve the Brussels Chopped Chips in or on the side. Your choice! Dressing Ingredients Prep: In a...
