Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the strawberry-lime dressing according to the recipe. It should make about 1 cup.
  2. Toast the pecans in a 400°F oven until golden and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes. Watch them closely so they don't burn.
  3. Divide the spinach between 6 bowls, followed by the strawberries, chicken, onion, cheese, and diced avocado. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  4. Divide the dressing between each bowl (about 2.5 tbsps per salad). Serve immediately.
