Provided by Kerri Conan

Categories     Chicken     Fruit     Poultry     Fourth of July     Picnic     Backyard BBQ     Dinner     Lunch     Peach     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Self     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt (preferably kosher)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil cooking spray
1 pound peaches (3 or 4 small), halved and pitted
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups baby arugula (10-ounce package)

Steps:

  • Heat grill on high; set grill rack 4 to 6 inches above heat source. Season chicken with salt and pepper; coat with cooking spray. Grill chicken, turning once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, 5 to 8 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Coat peaches with cooking spray; spread skin side up on grill grates; grill, turning once, until juicy but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes per side. In a salad bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar, oil and 1 tablespoon water. Toss with arugula. Divide arugula among 4 plates. Slice chicken and peaches; distribute evenly among plates.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe peaches: Using ripe peaches will ensure your salad is naturally sweet and flavorful. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep, golden color.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunchy texture to the salad. You can toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Use a variety of greens: Feel free to mix and match different types of greens in your salad. Some good options include romaine lettuce, spinach, arugula, and kale.
  • Add some sweetness: If your peaches are not very ripe, you can add a bit of honey or agave syrup to the dressing to sweeten it up.
  • Make it a meal: This salad can be served as a main course or a side dish. If you're serving it as a main course, you can add some grilled chicken or tofu.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad with peaches and walnuts is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a light lunch or a hearty dinner, this salad is sure to please.
