Grilled Chicken Kiwi Salad
"Wow, this is a great summer salad that is unique and delicious! It makes a super meal served with bread. If you look over the ingredient list and find they look good, then give this recipe a try... I bet you'll love it!
I don't always use endives... sometimes I make it work with what I have on hand for the salad (just greens and tomatoes).
Cooks note: Ginger may be frozen and grated as needed."

ingredients
-
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, well-rinsed and patted dry
-
Kiwi Vinaigrette
- 2 kiwi fruits, firm and ripe, peeled and chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated (see cook's note)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (may use 1/2 minced, seeded fresh hot red chile)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup light olive oil
- salt and pepper
-
Salad
- 8 cups mixed greens, torn into bite-size pieces
- 2 medium Belgian endive, thinly sliced crosswise (I use Costco's mixed spring greens)
- 1⁄4 cup alfalfa sprout (may use bean sprouts if preferred)
- 16 cherry tomatoes, halved
directions
- For Marinade: Combine all and stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the chicken and turn to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours (it's also great if marinated all day).
- Grill or broil chicken until cooked through but moist inside, 4-5 minutes per side. Cool to room temperature. Slice into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- For Dressing: Process all but oil, then drizzle in the oil through the feed tube until the mixture is emulsified.
- Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- I usually divide up salad ingredients on individual plates for the most attractive presentation possible with the sliced grilled chicken on each one. I let diners serve themselves dressing.

I'm a stay at home mom with 4 children. I love discovering great recipes and cooking techniques. Since my 4 children have recently gotten out of the preschool years, I have taken more time to catalog and organize my recipe collection. I appreciate all the wonderful recipes I have found here and the effort to input them. My family and I appreciate the good food that has become part of what we regularly enjoy eating.
Besides cooking and taking care of my children and family, I love reading and playing piano. I also love classical guitar, and as my kids grow older, I would like to devote time to learning to play better (I'm really just a beginner). The arts bring me a lot of joy (music, visual, performance, literary, culinary). I also find joy in the beauty that is in the world and nature... I'm fortunate to live close to the beautiful Wasatch Mountains and not too far from many beautiful national parks in the state of Utah.
I feel we have a responsibility to reach out and help others, and as a follower of Jesus Christ, I hope to make a positive contribution to my family, local church congregation, neighborhood, community, and to worthy causes that inspire me. I find that many charitable organizations are not giving enough to help the less fortunate or to whatever is their cuase, but I really like The Smile Train, and the programs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints which are mostly run by volunteers (main humanitarian missions... eyeglasses, clean water , Neonatal Resuscitation, Emergency Response, Wheelchairs, Food Production, and Immunizations).
I am very thankful for a good and abundant life and am sad for the great suffering that many people endure in life. I believe in an Eternal equalization or fixing of injustice, and I look forward to the day God will surely make everything right.
