Summer grilled chicken salad with strawberries, avocado, spinach, romaine, and sweet poppy seed dressing.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground dry mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon grated onion
  • 0.25 cup Italian-style salad dressing
  • 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 2 medium boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups baby spinach, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups torn romaine lettuce
  • 2 cups hulled and sliced strawberries
  • 1 ripe but firm avocado, pitted and sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 0.5 cup toasted pecans
Instructions:
  • In a blender, blend together olive oil, vinegar, honey, sugar, poppy seeds, salt, mustard, and grated onion until smooth. Refrigerate the dressing in a bowl or jar for at least 1 hour before using.
  • Mix together the zesty Italian dressing and savory teriyaki sauce in a container with a tight lid. Add the chicken to the flavorful marinade, seal the container, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.
  • Heat up the grill outdoors to medium heat and lightly grease the grate.
  • Grill the marinated chicken until juices run clear, about 5 to 8 minutes per side. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine the grilled chicken, spinach, romaine lettuce, strawberries, and avocado in a large serving bowl. Chill in the fridge until serving.
  • Drizzle salad with dressing and sprinkle with pecans just before serving.
