Ingredients

Chicken
Balsamic-Basil Grilled Chicken (skip down to Strawberry Feta Salad if not including chicken)
1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic (minced)
20 fresh basil leaves (chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Strawberry Feta Salad
1/3 cup sliced almonds
3 cups mixed greens
3 cups baby spinach
1 cup strawberries (hulled and sliced)
1/2 small red onion (halved and sliced)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic (minced)
Pinch salt

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.

All the flavors of summer are packed into this arugula and strawberry salad. Perfect for a light dinner on those days you don't want to heat up the house using the oven. Use any mild-flavored oil for the dressing and your favorite seasoning on the chicken. Feel free to divide the ingredients between four large bowls instead of arranging on a platter.

Ingredients

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup fresh strawberries, stemmed
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon poppy seeds
¼ teaspoon salt
8 cups arugula
1 cup diced mango
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 large avocado, pitted and sliced
½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup pine nuts
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

Pound chicken breast to an even 1-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin; place in a resealable plastic bag.
Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic-herb seasoning, and salt together in a small bowl. Pour over chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Combine strawberries, vinegar, oil, honey, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and salt in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken from marinade. Place chicken on the hot grill; discard leftover marinade.
Close the grill lid and lower the heat to medium. Grill until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a plate to rest and cool for 10 minutes. Slice chicken on the diagonal.
Place arugula on a large platter. Top with sliced chicken, mango, strawberries, avocado, red onion, pine nuts, and feta cheese. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
