This simple grilled chicken salad comes together quickly but doesn't skimp on flavor. The key is properly seasoning and grilling the chicken to juicy perfection, then pairing it with fresh vegetables and a homemade honey mustard dressing that brings everything together.

This salad is incredibly versatile - feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or radishes. For added crunch, top with toasted nuts or seeds. To make it a heartier meal, include crumbled feta or goat cheese, or even some cooked quinoa or farro.

Grilled Chicken Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

Step 1: Make sure the grill or pan is properly heated before adding the chicken to ensure good searing.

Step 2: Patting the chicken dry helps the seasonings stick better and promotes better browning.

Step 3: Letting the chicken rest before slicing helps retain juices for more flavorful and tender meat.

Step 4: For a smoother dressing, add the oil last, whisking continuously as you pour it in.

Step 5: For the crispest salad, make sure all vegetables are thoroughly dried after washing.

Step 6: Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.

Step 7: For a beautiful presentation, you can also serve the salad with the chicken and dressing arranged on top rather than tossing everything together.
