There is nothing I love more than a great grilled recipe. I’ve been looking high and low for great recipes to try while putting my own spin on them. I came across a delicious sounding grilled chicken salad recipe. Light, with fruit tossed with freshly grilled chicken. Don’t you just love sweet and savory? This was a very easy recipe to make. Today I will share my spin on the recipe and where to find the original.

Best to prepare your salad and dressing first, that way when the grilled chicken is cooked you can just chop and add it in. Grab your Ginger, grate, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. (optional crushed garlic) Measure out your ingredients and mix it up. Reserve dressing until ready to serve!
Grab all your fresh veggies and fruits, along with your chopping board and knife. Wash, dry and chop it all up. Add it into a extra large mixing bowl and gently toss. Cover with a damp paper towel and saran wrap set into the fridge until later.
Then grill up your chicken the perfect minimum internal temperature for chicken is 165*. Try not to over cook you don’t want your chicken dry. When completely cooked about 20 minutes, let it cool a bit. Just enough to handle while chopping it up. (In a hurry? You have my permission to used grilled chicken from the store)
Chop up your chicken and toss it gently into your pre-mixed salad! Serve it on plates. We used the ginger dressing and let the kids use what ever their favorite dressing were. Can you guess what they picked?
I hope you get to enjoy trying to make it soon with any for any of your Meal Plan Monday Recipes!
