This bean salad recipe is anything but boring. If you are looking to add an oumph to your salad, then you are in the right place.
Let me introduce you to my go-to sweet and savory salad for any season. This salad is so filling; you might skip the main dish. It's so full of vibrant colors and packed with delicious flavors. With the help of some pantry goods, I was able to whip this up in minutes.
The spicy grilled chicken adds a kick to this salad. I used a homemade vinaigrette for a mild sweetness, and it was a perfect balance. This bean and chicken salad is ready in 15 minutes or less.
If you'd love to make grilled chicken at home, try my maple chicken recipe or this juicy grilled chicken breast.
