Theresa's Mixed Nuts: Strawberry Chicken Salad

Strawberry Chicken Salad

When the temperatures start to rise, I start to look for light lunch and dinner options. I am not a fan of foods that are going to weigh my tummy down and make me feel bloated and sluggish. As much as I love my southern comfort foods, they really aren't a good fit for this time of the year. Instead, I reach for a lot of fresh fruits and veggies (especially the ones I grow in my own garden) to satisfy my hunger in the summer.  That's why I love to keep a huge container of mixed greens in my fridge during the hot months. There are so many ingredients you could add to the mix that even if you had a salad to eat every day, it would be hard to grow bored with it since you could just toss in something different every time and feel like you are getting something new each time. Last week I made this Strawberry Chicken Salad recipe from Golden Blossom Honey for dinner and it was a huge hit with the family.

I always love to add fresh fruits to my salads because they always pair well with a good vinaigrette. Since you make your own dressing with this recipe, no extra vinaigrette is necessary. You get a burst of sweet summer flavor with every bite. 

Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
1 medium red onion, halved and sliced
3/4 pound turkey cutlets or boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size strips
2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pint fresh strawberries, cleaned and halved
4 cups torn mixed salad greens
1/4 cup red wine vinegar, divided

  1. I'm not the one to mix fruit with savoury food, no thanks :) You may serve me those strawberries with some whipped cream and honey, please!

  2. Strawberries in salads are my fave. I think they pair best with greens. Though admittedly I am a salad nut and could eat one every single day and never get tired of it. :) This one looks yum!

  3. Chicken always gets the win for me. Haven't had it as strips for a while though. Yeah, bloated in the heat sure is no fun, if being bloated ever is fun haha

  16. Looks really good! I love strawberries in a salad. It gives the salad an interesting kick to it. Chicken strips was also a nice addition. That makes the dish not just a salad but a complete meal in itself.

  19. This looks so good and it would be nice to have it during the summer! Salads are refreshing and they don't require a lot of cooking (sometimes none at all!) which is why I love having them in the summer.
