"If it's not grilling season where you live, the chicken an be made on an indoor grill, This salad is not only pretty to look at it's delicious too and it's the perfect summertime salad and great for pot-lucks. The salad makes a fair amount and needs to sit at room temperature for a bit before serving, so it's the perfect make-ahead dish for a big party. The chicken should be used for the salad after grilling, don't use it cold from the fridge"
