Lemoned Chicken and Grilled Peach Salad

I’m a full-fat, full-flavor girl. When I eat a salad, I’m not skimping on the good stuff even if to me the good stuff happens to be grilled peaches and toasted pine nuts. I’ve started to move away from the heavily dressed salads teaming with bad calories, and find myself experimenting with bringing out the natural flavor of each dish, adding little enhancements here and there. Organic Girl asked me to recipe test some of their new Butter Lettuce, so I went for the obvious: Salad. Grilled Peach Salad BUT not just any salad. This is the South in your mouth summer salad of your dreams! As if your dream guy walked into your life, chances are, he’d be carrying this grilled peach salad. Easy to make, easier to eat. Great to share, but why would you? He’s yours- er I mean the salad is yours. 
Grilled Peach Salad Grilled Peach Salad Grilled Peach SaladThis butter lettuce from Organic Girl is so delicate, it would be a shame to drown it in dressing. I’ve left this salad true to its essence and only enhanced it slightly with some lemon and the faintest drizzle of balsamic glaze. The grilled peaches bring out the tender taste of the lettuce and the lemon agave chicken has enough flavor, the dish would be lost if covered in anything more. 

And NOW some exciting news: Organic Girl and I have partnered together to show you how to make this salad (and this pizza) in real life, at a real store, most likely near you, my wonderful readers! We are going on a three-day tour around Atlanta to introduce the Butter lettuce in person, sample this recipe, and get an exclusive one on one look at how it’s made! There will be some wine pairings, coupons and a giveaway (I had a hand in curating the items) as well. The first one is at Earth Fare in Peachtree Corners this Saturday! I hope to see you there!

Salads don’t have to be boring. Remember the rule: if you’re bored, you’re boring.
