Grilled Chicken Teriyaki and Pineapple Salad

[heart_this] · Jul 9, 2020 · 2 Comments

Grilled Chicken Teriyaki and Pineapple Salad

Grilled teriyaki chicken and pineapple salad in a tasty teriyaki dressing!

On hot summer days I enjoy light meals that do not require a lot of cooking and this grilled chicken teriyaki and pineapple salad is perfect! Teriyaki sauce is a simple Japanese sauce that is both sweet and salty and in this recipe it’s used both as a marinade for the chicken and in the salad dressing. Once the chicken has marinated in the teriyaki sauce it’s quickly grilled, along with slices of pineapple and red bell peppers, before being sliced into bite sized pieces for the salad. The rest of the salad is built up with lettuce, cucumber, carrots, onions and crunchy cashews. The base of the dressing is the teriyaki sauce along pineapple juice and oil and it’s seasoned with garlic, ginger, and aromatic toasted sesame oil! Once the chicken has been marinated this grilled chicken teriyaki and pineapple salad meal comes together in less than 30 minutes making it so quick and easy that’s it will work even on busy nights!

    Is there a mirin that you think is best or teriyaki sauce?

      I generally make my own teriyaki sauce rather than buying it. As far as mirin goes, I don’t have a large selection here so I generally get what’s available. The bottle in my cupboard right now is Kikkoman.
