GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD
I love to eat an overloaded salad as a meal. You get a ton of veggies, protein and leave feeling full. This Grilled Chicken Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing has all that going for it and more! The Cilantro Lime Dressing brings this salad to the next level with that bright pop of flavor.
This nutritious dinner comes together in no time. Just get that chicken in the oven and use your time to prep the salad ingredients. You will have a restaurant quality dinner salad in less than 30 minutes!
This Cilantro Lime Dressing can be made ahead or just before serving. It only takes a few minutes to make.
I am obsessed with anything with the cilantro lime combo. People either love or hate cilantro. I obviously love it.
