Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or tenders
a generous sprinkling of each - garlic powder, paprika, and salt & pepper
10-16 ounces baby spinach or spring mix
1 large apple cored and thinly sliced*
1 cup blueberries or another favorite fruit - sliced strawberries, halved raspberries, pomegranate seeds, diced pears
half a small red onion peeled and thinly sliced
3/4 cup nuts - toasted pine nuts, glazed pecans, chopped walnuts or slivered almonds use any favorite**
4-6 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola, Feta, Goat, or Blue Cheese
1 batch balsamic vinaigrette (may not use all of it)
Optional add-ins: cooked & crumbled bacon, diced avocado, dried cranberries

Steps:

  • To make chicken (if using): Preheat oven to 450ºF. Season chicken and bake for 17-20 minutes, (or until 165 degrees internally). Once cooked, cover with foil for 10 minutes to seal in the juices.
  • While chicken is cooking, you can prepare the salad ingredients.
  • To make the salad: Add spinach, fruit, red onion, nuts, dried cranberries, and half of the cheese to a large serving bowl. Cooked chicken can be chopped and tossed in the salad or sliced and served over the top or served alongside the salad. Drizzle the salad with the vinaigrette, and toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining cheese.

Strawberry and Spinach Salad with Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette image

This is a great easy summer salad, with a lot of options as to mixing and matching. Plus the salad looks pretty fancy. You can throw in any summer fruit or berry with this mix, blueberries and raspberries are a good choice, as are blackberries later in the season. The nuts are optional but a pecan or roasted almond adds a little crunch and more protein!
