Description

A refreshing and vibrant Strawberry Chicken Salad combining juicy grilled chicken breasts with fresh strawberries, crisp mixed greens, tangy feta cheese, crunchy walnuts, and a flavorful balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Perfect for a light and healthy meal.


Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  2. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced strawberries, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped walnuts. Toss gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
  3. Add the Chicken and Dressing: Place the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad mixture. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad to add flavor and moisture.
  4. Season and Serve: Finish by seasoning the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors and the perfect balance of textures.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before grilling.
  • Walnuts can be toasted lightly to enhance their crunch and flavor.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best taste.
  • Substitute balsamic vinaigrette with a honey mustard dressing for a different twist.
  • This salad can be served chilled or at room temperature according to preference.
