Strawberry Chicken Salad

By VerneJ

Perfect salad for when it's hot outside and strawberries are fresh and sweet. If you'd like, you can leave out the chicken and add a little blue cheese to make this a side salad.

Ingredients

• 4 skinned and boned chicken breast halves
• Raspberry Vinaigrette, divided
• 8 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 quart strawberries, sliced
• 2 pears, sliced
• 2 avocados, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 small sweet onion, diced
• 1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

Combine chicken and 1/2 cup Raspberry Vinaigrette in a large zip-top freezer bag. Seal and chill 1 hour.

Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade.

Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 4 minutes on each side or until done. Let chicken stand 10 minutes; slice.

Place salad greens and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl, and gently toss. Divide mixture evenly between 4 serving plates; top with grilled chicken slices. Serve with remaining Raspberry Vinaigrette.
