Grilled Chicken and Raspberry Syrup Vinaigrette Salad
I originally posted this recipe way back on August 12, 2012, exactly 10 years ago. The truth is that this simple to make, but not simple tasting, recipe has really stood the test of time. Grilled Chicken and Raspberry Syrup Vinaigrette Salad is a garden fresh salad that you make with ingredients you have on hand. I make mine with leftover grilled Shabbat Chicken breasts and Optimistic Garden Sweet 100’s little tomatoes.
Optimistic Garden little tomatoes. It doesn’t get fresher than this!
I originally made a vinaigrette out of raspberry syrup, but I’m including a balsamic & raspberry vinegar version in the recipe below. You can also use your favorite jarred dressing.
Keeping it simple, fresh and delicious!

Grilled Chicken and Raspberry Syrup Vinaigrette Salad post from 2012!
It’s so funny, when I came back to this post, everything is still so true today. This post/recipe was written shortly after my Dear Father (z”l) passed away and I was saying Kaddish (the Jewish prayer for mourners) three times a day in Synagogue. I took saying Kaddish pretty seriously, and it was a very hard but very meaningful thing to do. I felt like I was on a never ending roller coaster. Ironically, I still feel that way. I guess that’s life.I’ve updated this post with new photos, information, updates, tips and information. The basics are still the same ten years later. Enjoy!
Grilled Chicken and Raspberry Syrup Vinaigrette Salad without raspberries is super fresh and healthy deliciousness!

And then there’s Minyan…
One of my current challenges is getting to Minyan (Prayer Services) 3 times a day (ok, it’s really two you can theoretically combine Mincha and Maariv together). I find it’s kind of like the Mario Kart banana peel. You’re zooming along your day, actually accomplishing something, and then “woa!” got to stop and go to minyan!! As there aren’t a whole lot of women saying kaddish in general, in a sad way it’s kind of nice when I have another woman with me at minyan saying kaddish. I think it’s something that guys who say kaddish almost take for granted – they are surrounded by their peers, gaining support and strength from the “chevrah”.

You can use your favorite dressing on this salad. It’s super versatile and will be a great base for any dressing.
For a fruity salad, add the fresh raspberries at the end. You can leave them out if you prefer.
You can add slivered/sliced almonds, sunflower seeds or pecans to this salad for more crunch.
If you like, you can add 1/2 cup of Craisins instead of the raspberries for an alternate version of this great salad.
Depending upon your preferred dressing you can substitute a mesclun mix of lettuce. Just wait until just before serving to dress the salad.
