Ingredients:
1 1/2 Tablespoons pomegranate balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-3 cups green leave lettuce, chopped or shredded by hand
1/2 avocado, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
1/2 English cucumber, sliced
2-3 oz goat cheese crumbles
1/4 cup dried pomegranate cranberries
Tortilla strips (optional)
For the dressing -
2 Tablespoons pomegranate balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
Directions:
Mix together the vinegar, oil, sugar and garlic until well combined. Place the chicken in a resealable bag and pour the mixture over it. Seal and place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Preheat grill to 375 degrees F. Clean and oil grill grates. Place chicken over direct heat and grill for 8-10 minutes per side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and allow to cool before slicing thinly or into bite size chunks.
Meanwhile, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing; set aside.
To build the salad - place lettuce on a large plate or bowl, top with chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, avocado slices, goat cheese and cranberries. Drizzle with dressing and top with tortilla strips or croutons. Serve and enjoy!

An even rarer pantry ingredient, pomegranate molasses, might serve if laced with a bit of cider vinegar. So pleased you used Crout-ons.
Love how this is on a bed of lettuce. Looks so delicious. Have a great weekend!
The salad is gorgeous, Jenn. I bet that balsamic is awesome. I'm hooked on a new vanilla balsamic these days. I love the different flavors!
I'll mix a bit of my pomegranate molasses with some balsamic vinegar, and may very well make this chicken this weekend! How'd you know I was defrosting chicken breasts, and wondering what to do with them???
Mmm ... sounds, and looks, good to me. But I'd have a hard time using just half an avocado and half a cucumber. (But, so the excess of each wouldn't overwhelm the salad, I'd probably just nibble on those myself while I was putting the salad together!)
Hello! I recently just started a youtube Korean food channel, EasyKoreanFood, where you can learn how to make fast & easy Korean food! It would mean the world to me if you could check it out because I'm just starting out! Thanks!
Salad weather will soon be here and this sounds like a delicious must try. Have a great weekend, Jenn. Blessings...Mary.
