The Recipe: Grilled Naan Chicken Salad Wraps with Cherry Salsa
Tips and what you need: if grilling naan indoors you will need a grill pan. To save time use a cherry pitter to pit cherries. If you prefer to use a knife, cut around the circumference of the cherry, twist the two sides in opposite directions, use fingers to remove pit.

naan is such a great alternative to other sandwich breads! That cherry salsa looks delicious – I have a basket sitting in the fridge, and I need to check this out!
I love naan too! So perfect for easy summer meals.
I literally just had a veggie naan wrap for the first time and thought it was such a good idea to use naan that way! Now tacos??!! I can’t wait to try this – it sounds amazing and is just beautiful too!
I’m with you! The less cooking in the summer the better. WE use our grill almost every day and grilling the naan sounds like the perfect touch to this easy dinner. And that salsa! Oh, I think I’m drooling just thinking about it. I’ve got some cherries in the fridge and an extra jalapeno lying around so I know what I’m having for dinner tonight. Yum!
Thanks so much Linda!
I have never liked chicken salad until I saw these additions in it I love this cherry salsa, it really sounds wonderful and worth a try for me again. Thanks for making it so gourmet and not ordinary!
I’ve wished I would have found your gorgeous recipe in June when I didn’t know what to cook with all those cherries around me. But at least I’ll pin it for next year:)
Hi Gabi! We have cherries galore here in CA! I am sad I missed your season 🙁
I love the idea of cherry salsa! And that naan bread looks sooooo delicious.
Thanks Raia!
Just reading the name of this recipe makes my mouth water! What a delightful combination! This is an impressive one!
