Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, honey, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk well.

2. Marinate the Chicken and Shrimp:
- Add the chicken cubes and shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours for best flavor penetration.

3. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat.

4. Assemble the Skewers:
- Thread the marinated chicken, shrimp, zucchini, yellow squash, and pineapple chunks onto skewers, alternating the ingredients for an appealing visual.

5. Grill the Skewers:
- Place skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The shrimp should be pink and opaque.

6. Prepare the Sauce:
- Mix the BBQ sauce with the pineapple juice in a small bowl.

7. Build the Salad:
- On a serving platter, arrange the mixed greens, corn, onion, tomato, grapes, and peach slices. Sprinkle crumbled bacon, brie cubes, and goat cheese on top.

8. Serve:
- Arrange the grilled skewers on top of the salad. Drizzle the BBQ-pineapple sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
