Ingredients
  

Grilled Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast [O Organics® brand]
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Strawberry Dressing

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup olive oil

Strawberry Salad

  • 8 cups romaine hearts, sliced ¾” thick [O Organics® brand]
  • 1 cup English cucumber, ½” diced
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 medium avocado, ¼” thick slices
  • ⅓ cup feta cheese crumbles [Primo Taglio® brand]
  • ⅓ cup pecans
  • ¼ cup sliced red onion, ⅛” thick slices

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Evenly season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and pepper. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of olive oil on both sides, rubbing it onto the surface to coat evenly.
  • Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates. Place the chicken on the grill and close the lid if using a barbecue. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 to 165ºF (71 to 74ºC), about 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Rest the chicken for 10 minutes. Cut into ¼-inch thick slices against the grain. Set aside.
  • In a blender, add sliced strawberries, balsamic vinegar, water, shallots, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 10 seconds. Slowly add the olive oil until thickened.
  • In a large serving bowl, add romaine, cucumber, strawberries, avocado, feta cheese, pecans, and red onion. Top with the sliced chicken.
  • Drizzle some dressing on top of the salad or serve on the side.

Notes

Store salad in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Dressing can be prepared 3 days in advance.
