A complete lunch kit, made of fresh ingredients: corn, green beans, tomatoes, lettuce and red onion, served with grilled chicken breast and creamy buttermilk salad dressing that will add a tangy kick to it.

How to Make Garden Fresh Salad with Grilled Chicken and Buttermilk Dressing:
I served this garden fresh salad with juicy grilled chicken breast. I cut the chicken breast in half and I seasoned the chicken lightly with olive oil, salt/pepper and poultry seasoning. Then, I marinated in the fridge for at least 15 minutes and cooked it on a stove grill pan. While serving I drizzled some of my homemade buttermilk dill salad dressing with greek yogurt over the top which tastes great and helps for presentation, too.
- 2 cups lettuce chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh green beans
- 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/3 cup fresh corn (or use thawed frozen corn)
- red onion
- 1 grilled chicken breast , chopped
- buttermilk salad dressing https://poshjournal.com/buttermilk-dill-dressing-greek-yogurt
In a salad bowl, mix lettuce, green beans, tomatoes, corn and red onion. Add the chopped grilled chicken breast into the salad and drizzle with buttermilk dill dressing.
Use less or more ingredients according to your liking.
- 2 Chicken Breasts - halved
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- salt/pepper
- Season the chicken with olive oil, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Place chicken on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes on each side or until done.
If you don't have any poultry seasoning, you can marinate the chicken in 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder and salt/pepper to taste.

Jun 17, 2017 at 11:35 amThis is the second recipe I’ve tried of yours this week. It’s really good, I like the dressing as it’s light yet still creamy enough. I added some extra asparagus in my salad, something I often do even if a recipe doesn’t call for it…. I recommend that slight tweak/addition as the buttermilk dressing pairs well with the crunch of asparagus.
