This Grilled Chicken Salad is bursting with flavor from corn, avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, and red onion, and all drizzled with a sweet and tangy honey mustard vinaigrette. This is one of our favorite go-to summer salads. It is always a huge hit with family and friends and a recipe that we make often. I love to serve it with homemade strawberry lemonade or fresh peach iced tea.

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, grated ginger, and olive oil. Season with salt, fresh ground black pepper, and fresh herbs to taste. Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Add the chicken breasts to a large bowl and pour half the marinade over the top. Reserve the remaining marinade for dressing. Cover and chill the marinated chicken for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Using tongs remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Discard the remaining marinade that the chicken was in. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover it with a loose aluminum foil tent. Let it rest while you prepare the salad.

Add the greens to a large bowl. Then in a medium bowl, add the tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. Add 2 tablespoons of the mustard vinaigrette and toss gently to coat. Arrange the mixture and the corn kernels over the greens. Cut the chicken breast and arrange it over the salad greens. Pit the avocados, peel, and slice. Arrange them over the greens and brush them with lemon or lime juice. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve.
