It’s only the 3rd of January and I’m already ready for winter to be over! Let’s reminisce about the greatness of summer by making this Chicken Avocado Caprese Salad, full of light, bright, sunny ingredients.
This recipe was inspired by a recipe I saw on Cafe Delites, another favorite food blog because everything looks ta-die-for, comforting and delicious. I’ve made several salads from the site, and they’re all ingenious because the salad dressing does double duty as a marinade for the protein, reinforcing the flavors in several layers. I made my favorite recipe for Balsamic Vinaigrette to accompany mine-but you can use any recipe you like! It caramelizes and intensifies on the chicken when cooking, giving you lots of crispy bits and texture to save us eating from another non-descript salad. Plus your hands-on time is less than 20 minutes to put this light but hearty meal on the table!
Luckily, greens, avocados, mozzarella and sweet, ripe cherry tomatoes are available all year for us…perfect for summer days and nights, or days in the dead of winter when you’re just dreaming of summer’s return!
