Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large carrots, peeled, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
8 ounces green beans, trimmed
2 large or 6 small portobello mushrooms, cleaned, stemmed and gills removed
1 zucchini, cut lengthwise into thirds
1 yellow squash, cut lengthwise into thirds
1 head radicchio, quartered
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 head Bibb lettuce, outer leaves removed
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat; prepare a bowl of ice water. Season the boiling water with salt. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Add the green beans to the pot with the carrots and continue cooking both for 3 minutes. Drain the vegetables in a colander, then immediately transfer to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Remove from the water and pat dry.
  • Preheat a large (2-burner) grill pan over medium-high heat.

Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and chop into bite-size pieces. Slice the radicchio crosswise into shredded pieces.
  • Add the smaller, whole leaves of Bibb lettuce to a large serving bowl. Top with the chopped vegetables.
  • Whisk together the shallot, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad. Top with grated cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a lean and flavorful salad.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help keep it moist and tender while grilling.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Grill the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through, but not dry. An instant-read thermometer should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up fresh, seasonal vegetables. Try using a variety of colors and textures, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, corn, and avocado.
  • Make your own dressing: A simple vinaigrette is a great dressing for this salad. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: This will help prevent the salad from getting soggy. Toss the chicken, vegetables, and dressing together just before serving.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken chopped salad is a healthy, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious salad that everyone will enjoy.
