Description
This sweet-savory grilled chicken salad with fresh strawberries, creamy avocado, and tangy goat cheese is tossed with my favorite homemade lemon vinaigrette.
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 1 pound chicken, seasoned, grilled & chopped
- 5 ounces baby spring mix
- 1 large English cucumber, sliced
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
- ¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries (optional)
- ¼ cup sliced almonds (optional)
- Goat cheese for garnish (optional)
Lemon Vinaigrette
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2-2½ tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- For the salad: season and grill the chicken, allow to cool. Toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl to combined. Toss with dressing or serve dressing on the side.
- For the vinaigrette: combine all the ingredients in a glass jar with a lid and shake to combine. If you prefer a less salty dressing, start with ¼ teaspoon. Add additional vinegar or lemon juice to taste. Store dressing at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Chicken can be seasoned with your favorite salt and pepper seasoning. I love Crazy Jane’s Mix Up Salt or Trader Joe’s Lemon Pepper grinders.
