Created this tasty salad earlier this week when I was craving BBQ...salad...and homemade honey mustard...yumm-o! It got a thumbs up from the whole family.
For the chicken
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 package McCormick Hickory BBQ marinade mix
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp canola oil
In a large ziploc bag, combine marinade mix, vinegar and oil. Seal and shake to blend. Add chicken, re-seal bag and shake to thoroughly coat chicken. Refrigerate and let marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Preheat grill to medium high. Grill chicken breasts 7-10 minutes per side or until cooked thru. Remove from grill and set aside.
For the salad
5 oz package Spring Mix salad blend
2 eggs, hard boiled & sliced
1/2 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 carrot, scrubbed and sliced into curls*
1/2 cup cucumber slices
fresh cracked pepper
BBQ sauce
honey mustard dressing - your fave store bought or homemade (see recipe below)
To assemble salad, divide greens onto dinner plates. Top each with some of the egg slices, tomato, cucumber slices and carrot curls. Slice reserved chicken breasts into thin slices place on each salad. Drizzle a generous tbsp of bbq sauce over salad. Top with honey mustard dressing and fresh pepper to taste. Enjoy!
*To make carrot curls- using a vege peeler, draw peeler over carrot, making long curls.
** You can also use a bbq rotisserie chicken from the store.
Honey Mustard Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard
4 tbsp honey
In a small bowl, combine mayo and mustard. Add honey and stir until blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
