Grilled Ginger Chicken Salad
- 2 tablespoons peeled, grated ginger (see Note)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice wine
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, skin intact
- 1 1/2 cups assorted small tomatoes such as small heirloom, cherry, or grape, halved or quartered if necessary to a uniform size
- 8 large radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 pink grapefruit, segmented
- 1 medium avocado, thinly sliced lengthwise (see Note)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise
- Stir together the ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, oil, lime juice, chile, and cilantro in a bowl.
- Pour half the marinade into a container; cover; and refrigerate.
- (This will be the dressing for the salad.)
- Put the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish or other vessel.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate, refrigerated, for 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan.
- Gently stir the tomatoes, radishes, and grapefruit together in a bowl.
- Set aside.
- Remove the chicken from the baking dish and discard the marinade.
- Grill the chicken breasts until the juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife or fork, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
- Set the chicken aside to cool.
- When cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
- Add the chicken to the tomato salad and drizzle the dressing over the salad.
- (To prevent contaminating the food, do not under any circumstances use the marinade that dressed the raw chicken.)
- Toss gently.
- To serve, arrange a few slices of avocado in the center of each of 4 plates.
- Spoon some salad over each avocado base and scatter some scallions over each serving.
