I love topping grilled meats with fresh salad, a few successful examples of this: Grilled Flank with Tomatoes Red Onion and Balsamic, and Grilled Chicken Bruschetta.

In this Tex Mex version, the flavors can be easily tweaked to suit your family’s taste, make it spicy with some chopped jalapenõs, or swap out an ingredient for those picky kids. Enjoy!
