The article did describe this recipe as "no-hassle". I might have said "a little hassle," but I would also describe this as a perfect summer dish; lots of fresh veggies and no oven required. While the chicken marinated, I chopped the veggies. I grilled the chicken on the gas grill outdoors, so no heating up the house. It had been a while since I had grilled outside. I forgot to oil the grate and regretted it when I had trouble turning the chicken. Even though I had preheated the grill and let the chicken cook undisturbed 4 minutes, it still stuck. Oh well. You cut the chicken into 1/4" slices for the salad so it didn't look bad.
The salad has wonderful flavor and crunch. And more importantly, it was a hit with the family. Everyone enjoyed it, even the youngest who rarely eats vegetable, especially in a salad.
Summer means salads and Tides baseball
I haven't posted in quite a while. I didn't think my hiatus would be that long. I figured I wouldn't post over the Passover holiday, but then I was busy with my older daughter's college graduation, job negotiation and other life events. I'm looking forward to rejoining IHCC.
I have troubles with the grill at times too but your chicken dish looks great. Sounds like you were very busy and with important things. Congratulations to your daughter and job the hunt hunt!
ReplyDeleteThere is always life outside the blog and more important. This salad looks and sounds delicious. I might try this with a ready grilled chicken.
