Summer Spinach Chicken Strawberry Salad With Honey Lime Salad Dressing
"This Spinach Chicken Strawberry Salad is the perfect blend of fruity, sweet, and savory. Filled with strawberry marinated chicken, this summer salad recipe is the perfect way to eat healthy in season, topped with a refreshing, creamy honey lime salad dressing. I love baking my chicken for this recipe because it produces a juicier vs. drier chicken breast! My favorite things to pair with this summer salad are; Hummus pasta salad, Kabobs made in the oven, Sweet potato turkey burgers, and a Strawberry fizz cocktail."
