6. Grilled Chicken Salad
Grilled chicken salads are easy to customize, especially with spiced pecans and dried cherries. Steven Corson, the culinary director at the Seattle-based chain of Homegrown Sustainable Sandwich Shops, explains. "When our organic farm turns into a mud field and hibernates for the winter, we have to get creative to make a great salad. Our grilled chicken salad is a delicious, sweet and savory combination for the winter months, tossed with organic dried tart cherries and spiced pecans."
