Salad Sunday-Lime Grilled Chicken Salad



Hope you like today's recipe. I grill out almost every week in summer.  I even grill in the winter sometimes if my grill is not frozen in a snow pile.

When I grill it makes more than I can eat just for dinner during the week. So sometimes when I grill I use the grilled meat for my lunch salads. This is a perfect recipe for summer with the lime garlic marinade and the lime based salad dressing.

Lime Grilled Chicken Salad

2 cups lime grilled chicken
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Pinch salt and pepper.
1 (8ounce) package spring mix salad greens
1 (8 ounce package) baby spinach
1 Avocado, chopped
2 hard boiled eggs chopped
½ pint grape tomatoes
1 bunch green onions chopped
½ cup sunflower seeds

Dressing
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Mix well.

Lime Grilled Chicken
Mix olive oil, lime juice and garlic. Pour over cut chicken pieces. Marinade at least 4 hours. Season the meat with the salt and pepper. Grill chicken over hot coals for 45 minutes until completely cooked. Cool chicken and shred enough of the pieces to make two cups of shredded meat.

Combine all of the vegetables in a bowl.  Put the chicken on top of the greens. Add the dressing and combine. Sprinkle the nuts on top. Serves 4
