Summer Garden Salad with Chicken

15 Mins
6 Servings

Ingredients

22 ounces , thawed

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

3/4 cup olive oil

1 salt and pepper, to taste

1 zucchini

1 yellow squash

2 carrots

1 cherry tomatoes, 1 pint

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved

1/4 cup croutons

Light summer vegetables like squash, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes are a nice contrast to the heartier Grilled & Ready® diced chicken. Red wine and Dijon-based dressing adds a nice, flavorful acidity.

Directions

1. In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, garlic and mustard. Slowly pour in oil while gently whisking. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

2. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the zucchini, yellow squash and carrots into thin ribbons. Place in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and Grilled & Ready® chicken. Toss with vinaigrette. Set aside for 5 minutes.

3. Place marinated chicken and vegetable mixture in a bowl and top with cheese and croutons.
