Grilled Chicken Salad
Looking for something different from your everyday garden salad? This fresh combination of baby arugula and grilled chicken gets a flavorful upgrade from a simple Dijon dressing, juicy peach, summer squash, fresh basil, and shaved Parmesan.
This Grilled Chicken Salad earns its place on the Ajenda table because it brings together lean protein, fresh vegetables, fruit, and healthy fats in one easy meal.
