It’s an entree salad and a wonderful dish to enjoy on a summer day. Try this salad tossed with our fantastic Fresh Basil Vinaigrette recipe.
Why Try? The freshest flavors of the season are the focus of this salad, which can be a refreshing lunch or comforting, end-of-the-day dinner.
Foodie Byte: Any grill can be used for this salad. If you have an outdoor grill, you will achieve a smokier, charred flavor, but you can also get great results with a grill pan indoors.
Preparation
- In a dish, cover chicken breasts with lemon juice, garlic, rosemary and about half of the olive oil (1/4 cup). Season liberally with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Pre-heat grill to medium-high.
- Toss vegetables in remaining olive oil and season.
- Grill chicken and vegetables over medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts for 10 minutes on one side. Turn and grill for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Grill vegetables until tender, turning frequently.
- Toss baby greens in Basil Vinaigrette and pile onto a large platter. Top with grilled chicken and vegetables. Serve extra vinaigrette on the side.
