Grilled pineapple, avocados, cilantro, and the best teriyaki vinaigrette turn this grilled teriyaki chicken salad into a hearty and tasty meal you’ll put on repeat all summer long. It truly is a teriyaki salad too, you are using teriyaki sauce in two ways here – to marinate the chicken, and in the dressing. And while we are discussing the vinaigrette….. Oh, my word. Teriyaki sauce + pineapple juice + vinegar + oil. That’s all you need to have your tastebuds doing happy dances.

Ingredients

Dressing

1 tbsp. pineapple juice
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

cilantro, roughly chopped
15 oz. pineapple rings, with juice
2 avocados, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
8 cups chopped romaine or green leaf lettuce
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

Method

01

Combine chicken, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, and half of the pineapple juice from your can of pineapple slices in a large resealable bag. Press the extra air out of the bag, seal, and chill for 15 minutes.
02

In a small-medium bowl combine all dressing ingredients, whisk to combine, then cover and chill until ready to use.
03

Grease and preheat your grill. Place chicken on grill and discard bag with marinade. Place chicken and pineapple rings on the grill.
04

Grill pineapple rings just until hot and tender and grill marks start to form. Grill chicken 6-10 minutes on each side until browned and cooked all the way through (completely white inside, no pink). Transfer to cutting board and slice into strips or chop into 1-inch pieces.
05

Assemble salads with chopped lettuce on the bottom, then top with chicken, tomatoes, onions, avocado slices, grilled pineapple slices and cilantro. Serve with prepared dressing (stir or shake immediately before serving). Top with sesame seeds if desired.
