Recipe(tried): Grilled Honey-Lime Chicken Salad - Thursday Dinner

Hi Everybody!

It's easy to make a meal out of a store-bought rotisserie chicken. I buy mine Mojo Style at Publix, my favorite grocery store! Their Greenwise Market magazine was in today's mail and I got inspired to make today's dinner by looking at a picture in the issue of a delicious looking plate of salad greens mounded with sliced peaches and strawberries and grapes with sliced grilled chicken breast alongside of it with a little cup of honey-lime dressing.

Now it's too hot for me to be grilling in my backyard these days as summer winds down and I am on the look-out for easy and refreshing as well as healthy dinners. But I figured rotisserie chicken would do the trick and all I had to make was the honey-lime dressing. I used Spring Greens instead of the greens in the recipe and blueberries instead of grapes. Yumm!!!

For dessert, I will be serving Jell-O brand sugar-free rice pudding.
