Strawberry Feta Chicken Salad With Roasted Strawberry Balsamic Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Toss romaine, spinach, and kale together in a medium mixing bowl. Distribute sliced strawberries evenly on top of the greens. Arrange chicken over salad. Garnish with almond slices and feta cheese.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange quartered strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Roast in the preheated oven until softened and golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Combine roasted strawberries with their juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor; process dressing until smooth. Drizzle dressing over salad and serve.

Steps:

• Place jam in a medium bowl and whisk in vinegar then extra-virgin olive oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Add the strawberries and greens to bowl and toss to coat evenly in dressing.

Steps:

• To make the dressing, place the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, shallot, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a mini food processor. Pulse until blended. Slowly pour in the olive oil, and pulse again until thoroughly blended. Set aside or refrigerate until needed.
• Divide lettuce between 6 serving plates, and top with red onion, almonds, strawberries, and feta cheese. Serve dressing on the side.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except dressing in large bowl.
• Add dressing just before serving; mix lightly.

Steps:

• If including chicken, pound the chicken breasts to approximately 1/2 inch thick. Add to a gallon-sized Ziploc bag (I actually pound it right in the bag then add the marinade. I'm a little worried about causing holes, but it hasn't happened yet). Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the chicken in the bag. Refrigerate for at least an hour, up to 12 hours.
• Grill for about three minutes on each side until cooked through. Set aside.
• Make the salad dressing. Whisk together all the ingredients - olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and salt. Refrigerate for at least an hour, if possible, so the flavors meld.
• Toast almonds in a saute pan on medium high for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until you can smell them/they look toasted. Set aside and let cool.
• In a large salad bowl, toss together the mixed greens, spinach, strawberries, onion, feta cheese, and cooled sliced almonds.
• Just before serving, pour the salad dressing over the salad and gently toss again.
• Cut the chicken into slices, if using, and place it atop individual servings as desired.

Steps:

• Whisk vinegar and olive oil in small bowl. Add basil and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine spinach or romaine and strawberries in large bowl.
• Add vinaigrette; gently toss to evenly coat. Divide salad among 4 plates. Sprinkle each salad with cheese and pine nuts.

Steps:

• In a large bowl toss the spinach with the strawberries and toasted almonds.
• In another small bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients, starting with 1/4 cup sugar and adding in more to taste, then pour over the spinach; toss to combine.
• Sprinkle the feta over the top of salad.
• Serve immediately.
