Hawaiian Summer Grill Salad ready to be served.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A fantastic summer salad that's hearty enough for a meal. The savory chicken is on a bed of lettuce with sweet grilled pineapple. Macadamia nuts and shaved Parmesan cheese add the perfect amount of saltiness. We really liked the sweet and tangy mango pineapple dressing. It's different than anything we've had before - in a good way. Individually the components of this grilled chicken salad are simple. But, once they're all combined, it transforms into a scrumptious salad. You'll be making this salad over and over this summer.
