  • Dice up vegetables and toss together in a bowl
  • Cut chicken breasts in half and lay in a pan or dish to season
  • Brush olive oil on both sides of the chicken and season with the Cajun seasonings

  • Cut the corn off of the husk and combine with the other vegetables in the salad
  • Cut chicken into slices and serve over salad. Drizzle dressing on the top.

Notes

Want to try tempeh instead of chicken? I use one whole package and cut into triangles. You then only cook it on the grill long enough to heat it up and create grill marks on the tempeh.
