Looking for a delicious and healthy salad that's packed with flavor? Look no further than our Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Salad! This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and savory, with juicy grilled chicken, fresh greens, and a tangy pineapple dressing that will transport you straight to the tropics.

To make this salad, you'll need:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups mixed greens
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts


To start, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, pineapple juice, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in the refrigerator.
When you're ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, chopped pineapple, and cilantro. Toss everything together until well combined.
To make the dressing, whisk together 1/4 cup of the leftover marinade with 1/4 cup olive oil. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
To serve, divide the salad among four plates and top each with sliced chicken and chopped macadamia nuts. Enjoy!
This Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Salad is a perfect dish for a summer barbecue or a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It's light, refreshing, and bursting with flavor. The juicy grilled chicken pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy pineapple dressing, while the crunchy macadamia nuts add a satisfying crunch.
