STRAWBERRY CHICKEN SALAD

Since I just went strawberry picking and still had some berries available, I decided to make this strawberry chicken salad for our lunch today.  I really liked it.  Dave, not as much.  (not surprising though, he likes everything boring..lol).  I am posting it because some day I definitely will make it again for a pot luck or party, so here goes!  This was my version of another recipe..

STRAWBERRY CHICKEN SALAD:

2 cups of shredded head lettuce or lettuce/greens of your choice
1/2-1 cup of Salad Pizazz mix (cherry cranberry pecano) to your taste.
6 oz grilled chicken breast
3-5 strawberries, washed and sliced.
2 oz feta cheese finely crumbled
strawberry vinaigrette (recipe below)

Strawberry vinaigrette ingredients:
1 cup ripe strawberries
1 cup rice wine vinegar
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp strawberry jam
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste (just a few shakes of each)

combine strawberries, sugar, and vinegar and smash together (I used my emersion blender in a deep bowl, mix in jam and dijon, slowly add in oil, season with salt and pepper and blend together well.

set aside-you will only use a little of the finished dressing. Refrigerate remaining dressing.

ASSEMBLY:
Toss strawberries, greens and dressing in a large bowl (just add a little dressing, a little goes a long way and you can always add more later if desired)
thinly slice grilled chicken  and fan out the chicken on one side of the salad and top with candied salad pizazz mix and crumbled feta cheese .  serve immediately.
