Grilled Chicken Salad with Creamy Dressing

Grilled Chicken Salad with Creamy Dressing – perfectly grilled juicy chicken, sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado, mixed greens, and Italian dressing make for a scrumptious salad. This simple salad is perfect for lunches, dinners, or packed up and taken on a picnic.

My family loves this salad – it is full of healthy ingredients. But I think the secret to this salad’s success is the dressing. It’s the creamy Italian dressing that really makes this salad shine. It has the tang of a traditional Italian dressing but with a smooth creaminess that makes it more decadent. This homemade dressing is also packed with Italian herbs and so easy to make. I like to use a good old-fashioned way – just shake it in a mason jar. The rest is simple to make too. Grill the chicken and slice it. Assemble the salad in your favorite salad bowl. To serve, place grilled chicken on a plate, add the green salad and pour the dressing over the top and enjoy!
