Grilled Basil Chicken Salad

This bright basil dressing doubles as a marinade for a super fresh and flavorful salad.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup basil
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/3 cup Koroneiki Olive Oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 ear corn, husked
• 3 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shaved

Instructions

1. Add the bail, dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and salt to a blender and blend until smooth.  Remove half and set aside.  
2. Place the chicken in a food storage bag and pour the other half of the dressing over the chicken. Marinade for 10 minutes.
3. Heat the grill to high.  Add the chicken and corn to the grill. Grill for about 5 minutes per side until cooked through.  Remove from the grill and set aside.
4. Assemble the salad by adding the lettuce and tomatoes to a bowl.  Cut the grilled corn from the cob and add to the bowl.  Toss with just enough dressing to coat.
5. Slice the chicken and layer on top of the lettuce.  Drizzle a bit more dressing on top. Top with shaved parmesan.
