Grilled Balsamic Chicken and Avocado Bruschetta Salad! Turning Bruschetta into Salad into Grilled Balsamic Chicken and Avocado Bruschetta Salad.

All these rich flavours… I can’t handle it! This is one of my favourite recipes for salad!

The balsamic glaze marinade smothered all over the chicken completes this salad.

And so does that glaze dressing….with a twist of course.

So a couple days ago, we went out and ordered Bruschetta. We always order a Bruschetta. Al.ways.

And that Bruschetta inspired this salad.

So filling and healthy, I could live off this stuff. Well, if it wasn’t my heavy addiction to brownies and chocolate and all things unholy.

Brushing Sourdough over with Garlic infused olive oil (and some Garlic Butter from the Corn on The Cob recipe here), this was the best way to enjoy Bruschetta without any building. Deconstructed Bruschetta.

Because who doesn’t love crunchy, crispy bread with their salad?

      Hey Becky 🙂 Balsamic glaze is a reduction of balsamic vinegar caramelised with sugar. Usually it’s found in supermarket/grocery stores! I hope this helps! Xx
