I recently made this grilled chicken salad for my family and it was an instant hit! My kids love it because it’s delicious and they get to eat “grilled chicken” like mommy does when she goes out to dinner with her friends (something we can’t do now that we are staying at home). I love it because it’s so easy to make with ingredients I usually have on hand and there is something so special about getting to make dinner together as a family. Plus there are leftovers that I can use for lunch the next day! It is definitely one of our go-to recipes now when we are looking for something tasty but also nutritious at home.

One of my fondest memories of this recipe is when I made it for my son’s sixth birthday party. We had all of his friends over for a backyard picnic – complete with this grilled chicken salad! Everyone loved it – even the picky eaters! – so much so that I had requests for me to make it again at their next birthday parties too! It was really special for me as a stay at home parent because I got to show my son how much his friends enjoyed something I had made from scratch just for them – which was really meaningful for both of us.

If you are looking for an easy but healthy meal that your whole family will love – give this grilled chicken salad recipe a try! You won’t be disappointed!
