Chicken Spinach Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing | John Soules Foods
Serious Eating / Yvonne Ruperti
Summer is all about grilling and salads. Combine the two into one big hearty dish and you have the makings of a great main course that’s perfect for a light but satisfying dinner. Chicken is a great choice to complement veggies because it’s quick to grill and goes with everything. If you decide to use leftover chicken instead of cooking it on the grill this dish is even easier to make.
Here I started with fresh chicken that had been cooked on the grill (an indoor grill pan works well too) to develop some crispy charred edges then sliced it into strips. I had a big juicy mango a bag of baby spinach and a red onion on hand—a great combination for a salad—so all I had to do was decide on a dressing. One of my favorite flavors for chicken is honey mustard so I quickly whipped up a dressing and tossed it all together. At the last minute I decided to give the onions a quick sauté to take the raw edge off (but feel free to skip this step if you prefer). For the finishing touch I threw in some crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds. With minimal effort this salad of juicy grilled chicken grassy spinach sweet mango and tangy honey mustard makes for a quick fresh meal that’s full of summer vibes.
