Crisp lettuce, tender chicken, sweet berries and toasted almonds are tossed with a warm citrus vinaigrette in this flavor packed summer salad. I used Mojo Chicken when I made this meal.
The citrus marinade on the chicken was an excellent complement to the flavors in this salad. If you aren’t up for grilling or turning on your oven, a store bought rotisserie chicken would work fine in this salad as well.
Strawberry Chicken Salad with Warm Orange Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 8 cups green leaf lettuce chopped
- 2 cups strawberries sliced
- 2 cups warm cooked chicken cut bite-size
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds toasted if desired
- 1/2 cup Orange Citrus Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Place the vinaigrette in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer for 1 minute. Combine the lettuce, strawberries and chicken in a large bowl. Drizzle with the warm vinaigrette and toss to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle with almonds just before serving. Enjoy!
That's nice! Perfect for a summer lunch or early dinner. I would use a double batch of the vinaigrette and use some of that to marinade the chicken before grilling it for this salad.
Looks lovely and summery, pinned for when the seasons are opposite from my part of the world.

I could eat this every day for lunch! Beautiful, healthy and delicious.
There are only two words to describe this….. SIMPLY DIVINE!! I guess I better get some some strawberries and chicken. Lots of strawberries and chicken!! It is 92 degrees and VERY muggy here. So it will be deli chicken. But our store makes a very good chicken. Thank you, again for posting a wonderful recipe!
