Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 teaspoons lime zest, plus 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 4 teaspoons honey (or substitute with maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
For the Salad:
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken tenders
- 2 nectarines, pitted and sliced
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 3 tablespoons walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
- 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Place all of the dressing ingredients in a jar, seal tightly with a lid, and shake vigorously until completely combined.
- Pour half of the dressing into a large zip-top bag. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside on a plate to cool slightly until ready to serve.
- In a large bowl stir together remaining salad ingredients. Toss with remaining dressing and serve immediately with chicken.

Notes
- Substitute with lemon instead of lime, or use peaches or plums instead of the nectarines.
- Cooking just for two? Cut all of the ingredients in half. The rest of the instructions remain the same!
