Grilled Chicken Salad with Tomatoes, Spinach and Dijon Vinaigrette


I served this as a main course as a beach picnic and it was a hit. I did make quite a few changes.

First, I have grill fear because that is my husband's domain. If I were to show I could use it, he might never use it again. As a result, it's his. The chicken breast were cooked in my oven using the broiler.

Next, I completely forgot to buy celery, so it was missing that element.

When I made the vinaigrette, it tasted to acidic for my liking so I added about 2 tsp of honey to the dressing and YUM-O. It was tasty.

I made the chicken and veggie part of the salad ahead and served it on spinach at the beach. It was great. The one thing that I would add, and this could be the pregnant woman in my speaking, but I would add some of those chinese crunchy noodles on top. That would have made me eat this salad until I burst. I know, pretty picture. Speaking of pictures, I didn't have my camera or my cell phone with me at the beach, WHAT?!?! Next time, I promise. :)

  1. Is that your spinach in the picture? I like crunchy stuff in my salad, too. I'll have to check out this recipe.

  2. It is my spinach...or better yet, it was. It is all gone now, but I have planted more. :)
