Easy and Healthy Grilled Chicken with Honeydew Salsa Recipe

Grilled Chicken with Honeydew Salsa at FoodApparel.com

When I lived in Alabama I used to scan through all the magazines at the local rec center while I exercised to find food inspiration.  Occasionally, I would “borrow” a page (shhh! Don’t tell!) Probably not the best thing I ever did in retrospect, but I did it. (I only did it from the gym though, I swear. Can you tell I’m still feeling a little guilty?)

Well this honeydew salsa (that I’m featuring with grilled chicken today) I am pretty sure was inspired by an article I found in one of those magazines.  This is a mild (if you skip the jalapeno pepper) salsa that pairs incredibly with a handful of things.  The sweet honeydew with a hint of lime and topped off with ginger is heaven to the taste buds. It’s so refreshing to the palate. In fact, it’s so heavenly that I feel like it should be a guilty indulgence. How awesome that it’s not!

For a quick meal, throw the salsa on top of some grilled chicken. For a quick snack, throw it in a quesadilla. And when you just got the munchies, try it with some tortilla chips.
