Hawaiian Chicken Salad
A giant salad loaded with the tropical flavours of Hawaii! This recipe is based on the marinade for these Hawaiian Chicken Skewers I shared a few weeks ago - see note 1 for how to REUSE the marinade for this recipe. This recipe also uses leftover Coconut Lime Cilantro/Coriander Rice that I shared as a side for the skewers.

Recipe 1. The Hawaiian Chicken Skewers recipe uses the same marinade. So you can squeeze the chicken for this recipe in that marinade OR recycle the marinade as follows: marinade chicken for skewers for 1st 24 hours, then the chicken for this recipe for the next 24 hours. After which the marinade must be discarded immediately.
2. The Coconut Lime Cilantro / Coriander Rice used as a side for the Hawaiian Chicken Skewers goes beautifully with this salad BUT if you don't have any leftover, just use plain cooked white rice and make extra dressing to pour over the rice.
3. Nutrition is per serving, assuming 3 servings, with 1 cup of plain white rice used.

Another winner!! Thank you Nagi, this was mindblowingly delicious! I marinated the chicken over night - wish we could share pics in comments coz omg it looked so pretty and taste even better! 10/10!
My favourite Nagi recipe! I make it more like a burrito bowl (half rice and half lettuce) and it always hits the spot.
Nagi can you please fix the formatting in the ingredients list though please
I liked the idea of this recipe but was a bit unsure it would taste any good as I was assembling all the various parts. Shouldn't have doubted, it was delicious! I wouldn't skimp on making the coconut rice, it really added to the flavour combo.
I wasn’t 100% sure about this recipe, but it was shockingly good. Loved the marinade and all the overall flavours coming together. My only addition was chopped cashews on top. Thanks for sharing such a great and inspired recipe!
beautiful
I absolutely LOVE this comment and how I often use your recipes: "Truth be told, much of what I share here on RecipeTin Eats is a consequence of a never-ending plan to use up ingredients I have in the fridge or freezer. "
Wonderful
Nagi and Dozer, thanks for this great recipe. Kids and adults loved it which is a winner for me! I appreciate that this will be a summer staple so the chicken can be cooked on the bbq and not inside. Keep up the making work.
This is a really simple full of flavour recipe that my kids BOTH love (rare). Give it a go!
I haven't made my first batch of Hawaiian chicken salad based on this recipe, but by reading it I know it is going to be delicious.
I can honestly say this is one of the best salads I have ever eaten!! I literally devoured it! Everything worked so well together. I wanted to try the coconut lime rice, so specifically made a batch of it to go with the salad. The best part of it afterwards my husband stated that the salad was so good, that he had completely forgotten about his sciatica!! Later on he asked what I sprinkled on the salad as the back pain was gone and he felt calmer as well - this will now be called the Magical Hawaiian Chicken Salad in our household :)
Hi Nagi, I absolutely love this recipe! It is in regular rotation and gets devoured by my family every time.
Wondering if it's fine to freeze the chicken in the marinade?
Thanks!
This salad is one of my absolute favorite things. I've tried so so many of the recipes on here and this one remains my stand out favorite. I usually will add in fresh bell peppers but otherwise don't change a thing because its perfect. I have no self control when it comes to this meal and cannot praise it highly enough
