Freshly prepared Grilled Chicken Avocado Ranch Salad

Sometimes it’s hard to keep things healthy during the summer months when you’re frequenting picnics and enjoying grilled brats and hamburgers. There’s no denying that those meals scream summer but so does this colorful salad, packed with flavor. This salad is perfect during warm summer months when you can get the freshest mangoes and freshly picked corn to top it off. The best part about the entire meal is the Litehouse® Avocado Ranch dressing used to add a final burst of flavor.

If you’re not a grilled chicken expert, you can easily become one with a few tips.

  1. Choose chicken breasts that seem uniform in size and thickness. If they seem to be on the thicker side, you can filet the chicken breast before marinating to lessen the cooking time or pound the chicken to make the thickness more uniform.
  2. Marinating the chicken is key to achieving juicy chicken breasts loaded with flavor. Keep the chicken in the marinade for at least 30 minutes but up to overnight.
  3. Before you grill the chicken, prepare the grill surface. Make sure that it is clean of debris and rub the grates with a bit of olive oil to keep the chicken from sticking.
  4. Stay away from high heat when you grill – You’ll want to cook the chicken over indirect heat so that you do not burn the outside before the inside is cooked through.

This salad is also great for meal prep to enjoy throughout the week. Keep the tomatoes whole and keep the dressing in small containers on the side if you plan to travel away from your home with the salad. This salad is a great balance of protein and nutrients, great for keeping you fueled throughout the day.

Whether you’re a grill master or an amateur, this salad is easy to prepare and will have you longing for more all summer long. You can even try it with Litehouse® Jalapeno Ranch dressing for a bit of spice!
