During warmer months, it’s time to break out the grill! When grilling up chicken, we always grill up a few extra pieces to have on hand for easy and delicious salads. This recipe combines grilled chicken, sweet grapes and apples, onions, goat cheese, and walnuts with an easy homemade vinaigrette for a light but filling salad.

Note: Whether you make your chicken ahead, or right before serving salad, bring your chicken to room temperature before adding to the salad.

Nutrition Tip: Grapes are loaded with polyphenols, like resveratrol, the same heart-healthy plant compounds in wine. If you spot grapes in the store with a powdery white coating, that’s okay! It’s a natural protection against moisture loss, which means the grapes are fresh (simply rinse it off at home.)
