Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe;
Grilled Recipe: The steps for making Grilled Chicken Salad with Ginger Dressing are easy!
Tips: It is best to prepare your salad and dressing first, then put it in the refrigerator. That way when the grilled chicken is cooked you can just chop to add it in.
Steps For The Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe;
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.
Next, grill up your chicken the perfect minimum internal temperature for chicken is 165*. Try not to over cook your chicken as you don’t want your chicken to end up 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?

Hi Kathy, Thanks for stopping by and the compliments. I hope you try the recipe sometime.
My mouth is watering at just the thought of your ginger salad dressing! What a fresh summery salad! We will be eating this soon! I love ginger in everything! Fresh ginger makes all the difference, doesn’t it!? If you have access to an Asian grocery, the ginger is a fraction of the cost of regular supermarkets and fresher. They sell a lot more of it.
