Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready for use.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken, salt, and pepper and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing frequently, until the chicken is cooked through. When done, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl and top with the oranges, tomatoes, strawberries, cranberries, pecans, and blue cheese crumbles. Toss to combine.
- Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine, or you can serve the dressing on the side.
Notes
- Give the dressing an additional mix before adding it to the salad. You can add the dressing to the entire salad or to individual servings.
- You can substitute the homemade dressing with store-bought balsamic vinaigrette.
- You can also substitute cooking the chicken with store-bought rotisserie chicken.
