Grilled Chicken Burrata Salad with Basil Pesto Dressing

Ok, so I know it’s technically not ‘grilling season’ in the majority of the country right now. But raised as a hardcore Minnesotan I beg to differ.

Sure now I live in sunny Florida where I can grill any day of the week, except when a hurricane rolls through.

But honestly I was also one of those crazy people grilling in the dead of winter in Minnesota, when it was 20 below Fahrenheit, firing up the grill to cook dinner… Ya you betcha!

So even if you’re not a hardcore griller like me in the winter, there are options!

I also do a lot of grilling indoors, especially during the rainy season here in Florida. I purchased a cast iron grill pan (affiliate) and trust me, the flavor of food cooked on here is just as great! Plus you still get those fabulous grill marks on the meat! 🙂

Honestly this Grilled Chicken Burrata Salad with Basil Pesto Dressing is one of my most favorite salads to make. I think I make it at least once a week for my family!

For the Basil Pesto Dressing

  • 2 cups fresh Basil
