Last year, I made this salad for a picnic with friends in the park, and it was a huge hit. With the warmer weather finally here, I just had to recreate it. It’s fresh, colorful, and really celebrates the season. Plus, grilling the chicken adds a nice smoky touch that works so well with the crisp veggies. Honestly, I think I can even throw this together while juggling a few other things in the kitchen.

I remember the first time I made this, my partner claimed it was the best salad he'd ever had, and I graciously accepted the compliment, of course.
