Mangolicious Dinner Salad with Grilled Chicken

There are some lazy days after work that you just need a refreshing meal that only uses whatever that you have in your refrigerator. I found some semi ripen mangoes, some greens and chicken breasts... Tah Dah!!! I have invented this wonderful flavored salad with tangy lime mustard dressing. It only took me 10-15 minutes to put the meal on the table. Bon appetite!

1  piece of skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
1/2 tsp freshly grind black pepper

1/2 tsp salt or to your taste

1 tsp lime juice
For the Mango Salad

1 semi ripe mango - peeled,  removed seed and cut into bite size.
1 head baby coarse salad
1 tomato - cut into bite size
2 sticks of celeries - thinly sliced
1/4 cup  walnuts - coarsely copped
For the Dressing
2 tbsp olive oil
