Strawberry Mandarin Walnut Salad

One great thing about moving is when you unpack, you find tons of hidden treasures you forgot you had. I just found my salad chopper that I had completely forgotten existed and was so excited to use it. This salad is one of those salads that is just that much better chopped, so that each bite has a little bit of chicken, strawberry, mandarin orange, and walnuts. With so many flavors, I used a simple oil and vinegar as the dressing. I can see this being a summer night staple, especially after hot days at the beach!

Strawberry Mandarin Walnut Salad

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts

1 bag Romaine & Spring Mix

6-8 Large Strawberries

1 Can Mandarin Oranges

1/8 Cup Walnuts

Oil and Vinegar

Directions:
Season chicken with choice seasoning and grill. (I used this Penzeys spice which is a mix of cheese, chives, and poppy seeds.) Cut into thin strips.
Add lettuce to a large bowl. Top with fruit, chicken, and nuts.
Add dressing and chop.

Tip: Use an egg slicer to get perfect, even strawberry slices. Quick and easy!

Oh, yum! That looks a lot like the Strawberry Poppyseed chicken salad from Panera, which is full of my favorite things... so this works out nicely :)

Best,
