Strawberry balsamic chicken salad
*serves 4-6
Ingredients
For salad:
2 shredded chicken breasts (from 1 rotisserie chicken)
1-2 bunches watercress
1 8oz package arugula
1 1/2 cups strawberries
6-8 oz crumbled feta
1 cup toasted walnuts or pecans
For dressing:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
A few notes on making this:
- A rotisserie chicken makes this meal come together quickly. You can, of course, roast your own chicken, or use any already cooked chicken that you have on hand.
- You could also use blue cheese in place of feta for the salad, if preferred.
Directions:
For dressing:
- Place all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor and pulse for about 30 seconds, until everything is combined. With the machine on low, slowly drizzle in the oil until dressing is emulsified.
For salad:
- Remove and discard all heavy stems from the watercress and rinse thoroughly.Dry on paper towels or in a salad spinner and put in a bowl with arugula.
- Wash, hull, and slice strawberries.
- Shred chicken breasts and add to the bowl with the greens.
- Top with strawberries, feta, and walnuts/pecans.
- Toss with balsamic dressing and serve.
