Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb. chicken tenderloins |
3/4 cup Caribbean jerk marinade |
Salad: |
8 cups salad spring mix |
1/2 cup mint leaves, torn |
2 nectarines, sliced |
2 pink grapefruit, peel and pith removed, segmented |
2 navel oranges, peel and pith removed, segmented |
1 mango, sliced |
1/2 cup red onion, diced very finely |
Dressing: |
2 Tbsp. ginger |
2 Tbsp. tarragon |
1/3 cup rice vinegar |
2 tsp. Dijon mustard |
2 Tbsp. orange juice |
1/4 tsp. hot sauce |
1 lemon, zested |
1/2 tsp. salt |
