Description
A healthy and flavorful salad combining grilled chicken, fresh spinach, and strawberries, perfect for a light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 grilled chicken breasts
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: nuts or seeds for topping
Instructions
- Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Grill each breast for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and with nice grill marks. Let them rest, then slice thinly.
- Prepare the spinach: In a large bowl, add the rinsed and dried spinach as the salad base.
- Add strawberries: Incorporate sliced strawberries to the spinach for a sweet contrast to the savory chicken.
- Make the dressing: Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Combine ingredients: Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl, drizzle with dressing, and toss gently until well combined.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or garnish with nuts or seeds for extra texture.
Notes
Best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within two days. Keep dressing separate to avoid soggy greens.
