Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe – perfect juicy grilled chicken, grilled corn off the cob, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado and onion make for a delicious summer salad! Simple oil and vinegar dressing is the perfect finishing touch.

While barbecue chicken, baked beans, burgers and franks rule summer backyard cookouts, I also find myself craving light and fresh meals. Salad is simply the perfect choice!

This salad is a summer in a bowl! It’s colorful and full of flavor. Grilled chicken and corn on the cob are the star ingredients here. This is my favorite way to use any leftovers from my Easy Grilled Chicken and complement it with corn, avocado, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and red onion.

Italian Dressing Recipe – homemade salad dressing with oil, vinegar, herbs and spices. Quick and easy to make!

Homemade salad dressings are my jam! They are just so easy to make! This Italian Dressing is one of few I currently have in my fridge and one I used in my Italian Pasta Salad recipe. It’s also perfect drizzled over chicken just before baking on a sheet pan or grilling.

This Italian Salad Dressing can be made ahead and stored up to a week in the fridge. You can also use it as a marinade for chicken. It’s so tasty!
