High Standards For Spring Salads.
This salad more than meets our standards for everything we want (and expect) in our daily greens and we’re pretty sure you’ll love it as much as we do. Succulent curried chicken breasts are grilled to tender, juicy perfection, then piled on a bed of greens along with creamy goat cheese, pickled onions, loads of fresh herbs, a sassy little number we like to call “tangy vinaigrette” and perhaps the best ingredient of all...fresh mango slices! It’s healthy, filling and so good.
A Few Tips for Making This Grilled Chicken Salad
Here’s how to make the best salad with grilled chicken!
- Cook your chicken low and slow to keep it from drying out.
- Baking the chicken works great, but grilling it is even better. Hello flavor!
- Use chicken breasts instead of thighs, their texture works better for salads.
- Go heavy on the fresh herbs. Mixing herbs like mint and cilantro into your lettuce will give your salad so much unexpected flavor.
- Grill enough curried chicken to have leftovers. Trust us. You’ll want to eat this for lunch all week long.
Grilled Chicken With Curry Powder + Herb Vinaigrette
To make this delicious grilled chicken salad, you’ll start by making a simple curry paste of olive oil, salt, pepper and curry powder to rub on the chicken before grilling it.

- Shallots
