Mediterranean Grilled Vegetables & Chicken Cobb-Style Salad Recipe Is Healthy & Delish Salads Vegetables Poultry Dinner Lunch

With my raised garden overflowing with lettuce and leftover Parmesan-crusted lemon chicken breasts, marinated roasted brussels sprouts and boiled tiny potatoes, I knew a salad was on the menu for dinner. What I didn't know is that I would feel like grilling vegetables and end up with a fabulous Mediterranean grilled vegetable and chicken salad. Yum!

The healthiest salad dressing for this vegetable-heavy salad is a drizzle of olive oil and then squeezing the grilled lemon over the top. Tasty! But if you're craving a creamy salad dressing, go for it! It is just as delicious. I used Parmesan ranch dressing and have no regrets.
