Ok so I must admit, I LOVE a good salad. Especially during these hot summer months when you want something light, filling yet {lets be honest} bikini friendly. So when Heather, from one of my favorite blogs The Lovely Cupboard, contacted me to do a fun salad swap, I literally jumped at the chance! So in case you didn’t see this recipe Friday on her blog, today’s your lucky day!
I wanted to create a hearty salad that had a mix of fresh fruit, crisp veggies and lots of protein! I hate scrimping on salads, I mean let’s be serious people…salads typically aren’t very filling. This one however will leave you feeling fat and happy. In a good way.
I love this because you can prepare the marinade in the morning allowing the chicken to absorb all the flavors throughout the day, then just pop the chicken in the broiler when you get home and throw your salad together for a tasty dinner! Easy peasy, no? And don’t even get me started on the delicious summer dressing I drizzled over top. The mixture of freshly squeezed orange juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar and shallots just makes my heart swoon.
