Notes
Grill chicken breasts over medium heat for this recipe for an added touch of bbq char! Place breasts on a grill and cook for 10 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through.

Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl and hold off on the dressing until serving time.A few tablespoons of chopped red onion would taste amazing.Add a sliced avocado to the top of this salad!Any green leafy lettuce is great in this salad. Romaine, iceburg and butter are the best options
