Chicken & Strawberry Summer Salad
This is a flexible recipe that doesn’t have exact quantities other than the salad dressing. The salad formula that I love is greens + fruit + nuts + cheese + dressing = delicious.
This salad is an arugula salad with strawberries, marcona almonds, corn and goat cheese. For example, during the winter months, I love a salad with winter greens, apples or grapes, blue cheese, and candied pecans.
Ingredients
Salad:
- Chicken Breast
- Spice Tribe's Black Garlic Adobo Blend
- Strawberries
- Arugula
- 2 cobs of Corn
- Marcona Almonds
- Goat Cheese Crumbles
Dressing:
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 4 tbsp White Balsamic Vinegar
- 2-3 tsp Spice Tribe's Roco Hot Sauce to taste
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions
- Season your chicken breast with black garlic adobo and salt and bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, slice your strawberries, char your con gently on the stove, and crush the marcona almonds. I like to put the almonds in a zip lock bag and then hit them with a mallet so I don’t make a huge mess.
- Slice the corn kernels off of the cob and begin to assemble the salad.
- Arugula, strawberries, goat cheese crumbles, marcona almonds, corn, and a little drizzle of dressing. I like to dress the salad a little at a time and taste to ensure you don’t overdress it.
- When your chicken is cooked, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the chicken with the salad.
Enjoy your delicious summer strawberry salad!
