Caribbean Chicken Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Note: Instead of grilling, I chopped the chicken up and sauteed it in the olive oil marinade. Came out great. Next time I will make the marinade stronger, so the flavor comes through more.

    My 8 yo son and I enjoyed this salad. My son gave it an "A+". My husband however who does not like beans - liked the chicken- but hated the beans, which he described as tasting "liver-ish"

    I suppose the heavy taste does take away from the fruity, sweet tastes of the rest of the salad. Next time I will hold the beans for my husband. He also doesn't like fruity or sweet marinades on his meat (picker than our son!) but I played with the marinade/dressing so that the sweetness of the honey and lime were balanced with the olive oil and garlic.

    Next time I will try the marinaded chicken over rice.

    Caribbean Chicken Salad,This is a great summer salad. It’s really easy to make, and kids love it. I like to stuff the salad into pitas and serve it like that, but it can stand alone as well.,Note: Instead of grilling, I chopped the chicken up and sauteed it in the olive oil marinade.
