THIS Grilled Chicken and Nectarine Salad is full of sweet, savory, freshness which is why it makes a great light lunch or dinner. The juicy nectarines pair well with the tender chicken, and the sweet honey dressing brings it all together with just the right amount of sweetness.
To prepare, grill chicken breasts that have been seasoned with salt, pepper and a smidgen of olive oil until done and just charred. Meanwhile, slice ripe nectarines and mix up a handful of young, fresh greens, such as arugula, spinach and romaine lettuce. Optional add-ins like crumbled feta, toasted nuts, or avocado boost texture and nutrition.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey dressing: olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and correct sweetness or acidity, if necessary. Give the salad some time, then drizzle the dressing over just before serving to maintain the green crunch.
Place the grilled chicken slices over the bed of greens and nectarines and toss lightly. Not only is this salad colorful and pretty, it is a delicious balance of lean protein, healthy fats and fresh ingredients.
Great for the summer break or prepping for the week ahead, this Grilled Chicken and Nectarine Salad is a fresh, tasty and kind dish for all your family to share.
