When I want something healthy, easy and colorful for my family to eat, my go-to is a huge salad platter. This way everyone gets to make their own salad creation which makes it more fun for the kids. They always eat better when they get to have a little ownership over what goes in their bodies. Choose your favorite summer vegetables and get to grilling!
This Grilled Chicken, Vegetable and Avocado Salad combines seemingly simple flavors to create a dish bursting with flavor! I love how all the vegetables and the chicken get those gorgeous grill marks too. It just reminds me of summer and outdoor family barbecues.
