The chicken kabob salad recipe is here!

It is summertime, and we all reach for the standard grilled chicken salad, don’t we? But let’s be honest, it is usually not that tasty, right?

Dry and flavorless, it seems more of a punishment than anything.

I have a cure for what ails you. Using Afghan spices, my chicken kabob salad will make your next salad not feel like such a punishment.

Keys to success for a good grilled chicken salad

The first key is flavor. You need to marinade and spice it up to get a good taste. This recipe uses fat-free yogurt and delicious spices to keep the calories down and the tastiness up.

The worst part of a bad grilled chicken salad is that the chicken is cooked for four days with no spice. It’s honestly a choking hazard.

The second key is excellent dressing. You can easily ruin a calorie count with a heavily oiled dressing. Our yogurt dressing is low fat and packed with flavor.

You can have a healthy, flavorful salad if you are smart about it.

One of the main keys is to allow time for your chicken to marinate in the sauce. Don’t cut yourself short there.
