This
is a great salad you can serve up for a crowd or downsize it and keep it to
yourself. Packed full of bright spring flavors,
it's sure to be a new favorite!
We first served this at a baby shower - it comes together quickly, looks so pretty in little serving cups, and it tastes phenomenal!
Balsamic Berry & Chicken Salad
makes 4 "meal" servings, or 16 "party" servings. Increase or reduce recipe and portion size as
needed.
INGREDIENTS
2 heads Romaine Salad
3 cups Spring mix lettuce
2 cups thinly sliced strawberries
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup fresh chives, chopped
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 Tbsp chopped raw pecans
DIRECTIONS
Grill or bake chicken breast seasoned with a drizzle of olive oil and non-salt
seasoning (I prefer either Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb or Penzey's Mural of Flavor
seasoning). Allow to cool, then chop into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, toss together the romaine and spring mix. Add
strawberries, celery, and chives. Set aside.
Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add oil, garlic, honey, vinegar,
and pepper; cook for about 15 seconds. Stir until heated through.
Divide salad mix between 4 plates. Top with chicken. Drizzle with dressing.
Sprinkle pecans over the top and serve immediately.
TIP:
For parties, serve salad in small cups!
