Grilled Mojo Chicken Salad With Asparagus and Oranges

Grilled Mojo Chicken Salad With Asparagus and Oranges

The flavoring mixture, which accounts for most of the ingredients, is easy to assemble and, as a bonus, serves as both meat marinade and salad dressing. Simply siphon off some of the mixture as a marinade. Whisk extra oil into the rest for a first-rate dressing.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup orange juice concentrate
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper, to taste
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 ¾ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 oranges
  • 1 bunch medium asparagus, tough ends snapped off
  • 12 cups mixed salad greens

Directions

Step 1
Whisk first seven ingredients plus 2 Tbs. oil in a 2-cup measuring cup. Pour all but 3/4 cup of mixture into a gallon-sized zipper bag. Add chicken; seal and refrigerate 30 minutes to 4 hours. Whisk 1/4 cup of oil into remaining mixture for dressing. Peel and section oranges. Sprinkle asparagus with oil, salt, pepper.

Step 2
Build a fire on only one side of grill (to conserve charcoal). When coals are covered with white ash, place chicken on rack over direct heat, cover and grill until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn, cover and grill another 4 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken and add asparagus, spears perpendicular to rack. Grill 3 to 5 minutes, until well browned and just cooked through.

Step 3
Remove chicken and let stand for 5 minutes or up to 1 hour. Cut, crosswise, into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Toss greens, oranges, salt and pepper with most of the dressing. Arrange salad in six shallow bowls. Place chicken and asparagus over each. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
