Strawberry Fields Salad recipe is inspired by the one at Wendy's. Full of greens, grilled chicken, strawberries and balsamic dressing.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS SALAD

I could pretty much eat some type of salad every. single. day. I love seasonal salads. I love creating salads with whatever I have on hand. And I especially love making salads that are a whole meal in one. This salad checks off all of those boxes. If summertime had an official salad - it would be this one! Crunchy lettuce, feta cheese, glazed pecans, grilled chicken, onions, bacon and fresh strawberries all combine to make the most amazing meal.

WHICH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING IS BEST?

You can certainly make your own balsamic dressing. The dressing I use in the recipe for PASTA SALAD WITH SWEET BALSAMIC DRESSING is amazing! Or you can go with a store-bought version. I like this one from Marzetti. It has a nice balance of flavors. You can find it in the refrigerated section near the produce. Use whichever one is your favorite!

SHORTCUTS AND TIPS:

To make this even easier, you can use the grilled and sliced chicken breasts that are in the refrigerated and frozen section of the grocery store. Also, I found these praline pecans over in the snack aisle. Finally, you can use microwaveable bacon as well.

Strawberry Fields Salad recipe from The Country Cook

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

spring mix greens

fresh strawberries

red onion, thinly sliced

dried berries (cranberries or cherries)

Feta cheese crumbles

praline pecans

bacon

grilled chicken breasts

balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing

spring mixed greens salad, red onions, praline pecans, dried cranberries and cherries, bacon, grilled chicken, feta cheese, strawberries

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY FIELDS SALAD:

Place spring mix greens into a large bowl or large platter. Remove tops of strawberries and slice thinly. Thinly slice red onions.

Pro Tip: When using raw onions, soak the sliced onions in ice water for a few minutes before serving. This will help with the onion tasting too pungent and overpowering the rest of the dish.

Add sliced onions to salad and sprinkle with dried berries, Feta cheese crumbles, praline pecans, sliced strawberries, bacon and sliced chicken. Then drizzle balsamic salad dressing on top (as little or as much as you like.) And dig in!

I REALLY don't like making salads...and usually only eat them when we eat out. But love being able to make a copycat...this sounds wonderfully delish.

Joan

We like tuna salad and a broccoli lettuce salad.

I am somewhat lazy so I usually use packaged salad, instead of having to cut up lettuce

I don't make salad much, I find it a chore to make. When I do make it, I use the ready-made bags of salad so it is quick.

If I have time, I love to make a base of several greens, layers of veggies and fruits: red pepper, onions, avacado, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges - then topping with nuts and seeds and a lovely homemade dressing. It all depends what I have on hand at the time. I am like you - I could eat salad every day! I am going to try your strawberry salad this week! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

I like a good mixed greens, edamame, walnut, tomato and carrot salad with sesame ginger dressing!

I often buy the bagged salad mixes because they're easy, but when I want a really good salad I use romaine hearts--washed and spun through the salad spinner, and add halved grape tomatoes, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and whatever else I find in the frig. Homemade croutons are a nice finishing touch.

Ash

I love it with fresh veggies from my garden!

I like salads that have a protein in them whether it be tuna, salmon or chicken.
