Grilled Chicken Salad with Peaches, Bacon, and Creamy Ranch Dressing
Sponsored by Healthy Choice Power Dressing
When I first met my husband all he had in his fridge was string cheese and beer. Fast forward 12 years and now he is the one asking for salads for dinner.
The key was to show him that salads could be hearty and satisfying. This Grilled Chicken Salad with Peaches, Bacon, and Healthy Choice Power Dressing Creamy Ranch Dressing is a great example. The salad has a TON of flavor thanks to the Healthy Choice Power Dressing Creamy Ranch - I use it not only as a dressing but also as a marinade for the chicken. It is full of flavor and it even has extra vegetables in it in the form of cauliflower puree and each serving is 45 calories
The other important thing is lots of different textures. Between the crunchy greens, sweet peaches, salty bacon, and the creamy Ranch dressing, this salad covers all the bases and is super satisfying.
Give the below recipe a try - I promise it can convince even the most salad skeptic person out there. Also make sure to check out Healthy Choice’s new Power Dressings.
