grilled rosemary chicken with avocado, tomato and feta salsa

Summer is here! I mean, its kinda been here off and on but June always makes me think it might be here to stay. And with summer comes my favorite dishes. I love anything fresh and grilled and this recipe tops the charts as one of my favorites. I ran across this recipe in a Cooking Light magazine about three summers ago, it is the best for a warm evening summer evening. The ingredients are so fresh and light. What are you making for dinner this weekend? I know what I’m making!
