Summer Berry Salad
Ingredients per 1 salad:
1/3 cup berry vinaigrette salad dressing + 2-3 tbsp
1 tbsp olive oil
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, trimmed and pounded to even thickness
2-3 cups leaf lettuce
1-2 tbsp feta (or blue) cheese, crumbled
1-2 tbps walnuts, chopped
3-4 medium strawberries, diced
Couple of croutons, if desired
1. Put 1/3 cup berry vinaigrette salad dressing and olive oil in a resealable plastic bag with chicken. Marinate for 1-3 hours.
2. Grill chicken on medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, or until no longer pink in the center.
3. Meanwhile, toss lettuce with remaining salad dressing. Sprinkle cheese, walnuts and strawberries on top.
4. Cut cooked chicken lengthwise and place on top of salad.
Recipe Origination: Our garden lettuce is out of control, so while looking for a new salad dressing at the store to help eat it all before it goes bad, I saw this cool looking berry vinaigrette, which became the inspiration for this recipe. It turned out to make a great summer salad!
