Ingredients Needed for this Tropical Green Salad with Chicken:

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• ½ cup teriyaki marinade sauce
• 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• ½ cup onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Caribbean Trading Company Walk the Plank Jalapeno Passion Crushed Pepper Sauce
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno
• ¼ cup Caribbean Spicy Mustard
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 ½ tablespoons lime cane sugar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice
• ¾ pounds mixed salad greens
• 1 (8oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 can of mandarin oranges
• 4 cups corn tortilla chips

Directions:

1. Place the chicken in a bowl and cover with teriyaki marinade sauce and Caribbean Trading Company Walk the Plank Jalapeno Passion Crushed Pepper Sauce. Marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2. In a small bowl mix tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Cover salsa and refrigerate.
3. In a small bowl, mix the mustard, honey, sugar, oil, vinegar and lime juice. Cover dressing and refrigerate until needed.
4. Preheat the grill on high heat.
5. Lightly oil grill grates so chicken won’t stick. Place chicken on the grill and discard any leftover marinade. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

8. Last, drizzle dressing mixture over each salad and serve immediately.
9. Enjoy!
