    Tips and Substitutions

    • While the vine makes for beautiful presentation, guests might not know how to remove them from the vine. Most of the time, they will easy pull away from the vine. You can also demonstrate by pulling off with your fingers or by sliding your fork between the tomato and/or grape and the vine and pushing away into the salad.
    • If you don't have a grill, this recipe can easily transition to a stove-top made meal! Simply use a grill pan on medium-high heat and cook the chicken, tomatoes and grapes the same way as instructed on the grill.
    • Marcona almonds can be substituted with regular or candied almonds, walnuts or pecans.
    • To make the asparagus easier to shave, lay flat on a cutting board and run the vegetable peeler from the top to the bottom.

    Storage

    • Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. The crispness and freshness lesses the longer it's stored. This recipe is not ideal for freezing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Is this salad gluten-free?
      • The ingredients I used were 100% gluten-free. Check the label of the dressing and barbecue seasoning blend to ensure yours is gluten-free as well.
    • How are tomatoes a healthy ingredient?
      • Tomatoes are low in calories but packed with essential nutrients. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, vitamin K, and various B vitamins. They're also high in antioxidants and can help with vision and digestive health.
