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!

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!

  1. 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,

    1. So true! These salads with fresh fruit seem to be all the rave in the summer months and I totally see why! I tried the one from Chickfila which was delicious however when you add their granola/nuts/dressing it ends up having more calories than nuggets and waffle fries!
