Brush on to chicken breasts, onion rounds, red pepper and zucchini. Marinate for 1 hour.\r\n\r\nTo make dressing, combine mayonaise, salsa, lime juice and coriander. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve.\r\n\r\nPreheat grill to high. Season chicken and vegetables with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts and vegetables on grill. Grill chicken for about 5 minutes per side or until juices run clear.\r\n\r\nGrill vegetables about 4 minutes per side or until tender. Cool. Remove skin from peppers. Slice onions, peppers and zucchini into strips.\r\n\r\nWhen chicken has cooled, slice it and mix with dressing. Add vegetables and toss to lightly coat with dressing or, serve dressing on the side.

I used light mayo instead of regular mayo in the dressing.... have to watch those calories.... :lol: \r\n\r\nI also tried your fruit salad a few weeks ago and it was amazing! Keep up the good posts Avalon, it keeps me coming back!\r\n\r\nJoe
