A symphony of textures and tastes, this grilled chicken salad is a vibrant celebration of seasonal bounty. Succulent grilled chicken meets the sweetness of ripe fruit and the crunch of toasted pecans, all drizzled with a tangy-sweet vinaigrette. A dish that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.

For a smoky flavor, try using wood chips (like hickory or applewood) in a smoker box on your grill.
Feel free to substitute other seasonal fruits like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, orange segments, or sliced peaches.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you don't have a blender, you can whisk the dressing ingredients together vigorously in a bowl.
