I often have salad for lunch and I like to jazz it up with different ingredients and flavours so as not to get too bored. Today I would like to share with you the recipe for a very satisfying salad made with grilled chicken. This is no ordinary grilled chicken though, it is marinated in lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and Mediterranean herbs… so it is packed full of flavour! Who said healthy cannot be scrumptious? I like to use chicken tenders for this recipe, as they remain moist and juicy after they are grilled. You can add some arugula/rocket to the salad component to if you like… it works really well in this Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Salad. Enjoy!
