Grilled Chicken & Brown Rice and Spinach Salad

Brown Rice and Spinach Salad

(courtesy of Everyday Food magazine)

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 tsp red-wine vinegar

2 tbsp chopped fresh dill

1 garlic clove minced

1/4 tsp sugar

kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

2 c cooked brown rice, cooled a little

1 cucumber - peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, & sliced

2 c baby spinach

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

In a large bowl whisk together oil, vinegar, dill, garlic, and sugar.  Season generously with salt and pepper,  Add rice, cucumber, spinach, and tomatoes and toss to combine.

For grilled chicken I combine olive oil and Montreal Steak seasoning in a gallon sized zip lock bag.  I then add about 6-7 boneless skinless chicken breasts, and toss.  Then I just pop them on the grill!  

I am still working on getting the grill marks to look neat, but I never think about it until it's too late.  :-(
