The 4th of July summer holiday is over and now it’s time to get back on the eating-healthy bandwagon. Are you with me?!! I don’t know about you, but it’s felt like vacation every day for the last several weeks. And vacation for me means eating.. a lot… like whatever I want whenever I want. We’ve had our fun, and now it’s time to lighten thing up a bit. I announced this to my husband last night and then made him eat this Strawberry Chicken Salad for dinner. It’s not like eating this salad for dinner is torture or anything. There’s a good amount of roasted chicken in there, sugared almonds, avocado and BACON.
I also sneak in some cucumber, yellow bell pepper, blue cheese and plenty of fresh strawberries.
The dressing is my GO-TO homemade vinaigrette: Strawberry Balsamic. Simple. This Strawberry Chicken Salad recipe serves up 4 to 6 side dish salads, but if you’re eating it as a main dish salad and you’re really hungry, you may wish to just split the big bowl with someone else in your family (or halve the recipe). As for my husband- the guy who is never, ever excited about eating salad for dinner- he is delighted with this one, and I hear zero griping when I serve it. Praise, in fact, all-around. We both love it, and can eat the entire bowl between the two of us!
