AIP Friendly Grilled Ginger-Lime Chicken Salad

Bright, zingy, and deeply satisfying, this grilled chicken salad is the kind of meal that makes clean eating feel genuinely exciting rather than like a compromise. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce to deliver that savory, umami-rich depth without any of the off-limits ingredients, while fresh lime juice and grated ginger bring a lively punch that wakes up every component on the plate. The marinade does double duty here — half coats the chicken thighs for a minimum of 30 minutes, and the other half is set aside from the start to become the dressing, so there's no cross-contact with raw meat and no need for a separate sauce. Chicken thighs hit the grill over medium-high heat until they're deeply charred and cooked through, then sliced thin against the grain so every bite is tender and juicy. The base of torn greens, shredded carrots, cucumber, creamy avocado, and scallion greens gives you a full range of textures — crisp, cool, and rich all at once. A drizzle of that reserved ginger-lime dressing ties everything together with zero grains, legumes, dairy, or nightshades in sight. Serves four, and it's the kind of weeknight dinner that genuinely earns a spot in regular rotation.
