Grilled Chicken Salad with Strawberries and Spinach Recipe
Description
The Grilled Chicken Salad with Strawberries and Spinach features boneless, skinless chicken breasts seasoned with a seasoned salt blend and crushed garlic, then grilled until charred on the outside yet tender inside. The smoky flavor contrasts with the fresh components of baby spinach leaves and thinly sliced strawberries. The dressing is an emulsion of golden balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, diced shallots, honey, water, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper, blending tartness and mild sweetness with olive oil richness. Soft goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy element that balances the acidity and sweetness.
After grilling, the chicken is sliced and placed atop dressed spinach. The strawberries and goat cheese are distributed over the salad for bursts of sweetness and creaminess. This salad is an option for a light lunch or dinner with substantial protein and fresh produce.
