Sweet Grilled Chicken Waldorf Salad

I found this chicken marinade recipe on recipezaar and I thought it went well with this easy waldorf type salad. The flavor combination was really good; I wanted to post so I could recreate it. It's a keeper!

Chicken Marinade (this makes a sweet flavorful chicken)
1/4 C apple cider vinegar
3 TBS ground mustard
3 cloves minced garlic
1 lime, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 C brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt (I use sea salt)
6 TBS olive oil
ground black pepper
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1. In a large bowl whisk together ingredients beginning w/ cider vinegar through salt.
2. Then whisk in olive oil & pepper.
3. Place chicken in the mixture--cover & marinate in fridge for a few hours
4. Remove chicken from marinade & grill it up--while it cools, make your salad & then chop up chicken to add to salad.

Waldorf Salad
bag of salad, whatever kind you prefer
2-3 apples cored & cut into bite size chunks
chopped pecans
craisins or mixed dried fruit
crumbled Feta cheese
Raspberry Vinaigrette (Kraft makes one that is Light and really good!)

For the salad, just toss all of the ingredients together in the bowl adjusting amounts to your preference. I like lots of pecans & dried fruit in mine. This is a great summer salad; it's really sweet but the feta cheese helps balance that and also the lemons & limes you use in the chicken marinade.

Enjoy!
