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. Grilled chicken provides a satisfying protein base, while arugula, summer squash, and peach add fresh flavor and texture. A bright Dijon-lemon dressing and fresh basil bring everything together for a simple salad that feels anything but ordinary.
