Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of honey, the juice of 2 fresh limes, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic. Set aside 1/3 cup of this marinade for drizzling over the salad once assembled.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  5. Grill the Corn and Peaches: Place whole corn cobs and halved peaches on the grill, turning occasionally for about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Cool and Slice the Grilled Produce: Remove the corn and peaches from the heat and let cool slightly. Cut corn kernels off the cob and slice the peaches into wedges.
  7. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced grilled peaches, corn kernels, and any remaining cilantro. Drizzle reserved lime dressing and toss gently.
  8. Serve with Grilled Chicken: Place the grilled chicken on top of the salad. Enjoy!
