Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Summer Salad
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,
divided
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil,
divided
5 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 ears shucked corn
2 (1/2-inch-thick) red onion slices (about
1/2 of a medium onion)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
halves
3 cups baby arugula
1 head Romaine lettuce, sliced into
(1/2-inch-thick) strips
1 cup thinly sliced English cucumber
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes or grape
tomatoes
1/2 ripe avocado, cut into thin wedges
1/3 cup small basil leaves
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300°. Combine first 4 ingredients and 1/2
teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup oil in a
slow, steady stream.
Step 2
Toss Roma tomatoes in remaining 2 tablespoons oil;
arrange on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet. Sprinkle tomatoes with 1/2
teaspoon salt. Roast 1 hour or until tomatoes are slightly browned and skins
begin to pull away; let cool. Remove tomato skins, and cut tomatoes in half
horizontally; discard skins.
Step 3
Preheat grill to high heat (450° to 500°). Coat corn and
red onion slices with cooking spray. Place on grill rack coated with cooking
spray. Cook 12 minutes or until charred, turning occasionally. Remove from
grill. Cut kernels from corn; discard cobs.
Step 4
Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt
and pepper. Grill chicken 12 minutes or until cooked through, turning
occasionally; let stand 5 minutes. Thinly slice chicken across the grain.
Step 5
Combine arugula and
lettuce in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons dressing; toss to coat. Top with
cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, chicken, corn, roasted tomato halves, and
avocado. Sprinkle salad evenly with basil leaves, and serve with remaining
dressing.
