Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt , divided
  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper , divided
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes , halved
  • ¾ cup diced zucchini
  • 1 firm ripe avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño , minced (optional)
  • 2 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large ear corn , husked
  • 5 cups arugula (about 3 ounces)
  • 1 cup coarsely broken tortilla chips
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

STEP 1

Preheat grill to medium-high.

STEP 2

Combine lime juice, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; whisk in oil. Add tomatoes, zucchini, avocado, onion and jalapeño, if using; gently toss to coat. Set aside.

STEP 3

Sprinkle chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

STEP 4

Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill corn until lightly charred on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces; cut corn kernels from the cob.

STEP 5

Add the chicken and corn to the tomato mixture; stir in arugula, tortilla chips and cilantro and gently toss to combine.
