Ingredients

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 6 ears corn on the cob
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup Seasoned Croutons store bought or homemade sourdough croutons
  • 6 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls

For the dressing

  • ¼ cup prepared basil pesto
  • 4-6 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice. Season the marinade to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Brush some of the marinade over the corn cobs; set aside. Add the chicken to the bowl with the remaining marinade and turn to coat. Cover and let sit 1 hour.
  • Heat your grill to medium high. Add the chicken and and corn over direct heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the corn is lightly charred (the corn should be done after 10 minutes). Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels away from the cob.
  • Spread the salad greens over a large platter. Top with grilled chicken, corn, tomatoes, mozzarella, and croutons. Serve with pesto vinaigrette.

For the pesto vinaigrette:

  • Prepare the vinaigrette by mixing together the pesto and vinegar to taste. Season with cracked black pepper.
