Strawberry Walnut Grilled Chicken Salad Topped With Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

Tired of the same old same old balsamic and olive oil? Looking to top a fresh fruit summery salad? Of course you are... summer is finally here and what better way to kick start it than with a refreshing, light and delicious summer salad.




Ingredients (dressing recipe from Paleodietlifestyle.com)
1 Cup Fresh Organic Strawberries
1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 Cup EVOO
1 Tbs Dijon Mustard
1 Clove of Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper

Ingredients (salad)
Organic/Anti Biotic Free Chicken Breast(grilled/sliced)
Organic Spring Mix/Baby Spinach mixed
Chopped Walnuts
Fresh Organic Strawberries
Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
Sliced Red Onion
Ground Black Pepper

Instructions: (dressing)
Preheat oven to 425.
Rinse your strawberries and cut off the stems. Line a baking sheet with tin foil, folding the edges up to prevent juices from escaping. Place your strawberries in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Once your strawberries have cooked add all of you ingredients to a blender. (Be sure to include the strawberry juices that may have escaped during the cooking process). Blend until smooth. Serve cold and keep refrigerated. 

Instructions: (salad)
Butterfly your chicken breast and pound with a meat tenderizer so that it cooks evenly. Season your chicken with salt and pepper and place on either a grill or grill pan and cook thoroughly.
Combine all of your salad ingredients into a large salad bowl adding as much or as little of the listed ingredients as desired.
Serve with your hot grilled chicken sliced on top and pair with your strawberry balsamic vinaigrette for a great summer salad.
