Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
8 ounces mixed salad greens
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
6 medium strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 green onion, sliced (white and light green parts)
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
4 large whole wheat tortillas

Steps:

  • For the balsamic vinaigrette: Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Measure out 1/2 cup for the chicken and set aside; refrigerate the remaining vinaigrette for another use.
  • For the chicken and wrap: Preheat a grill or grill pan.
  • Place the chicken breast in a large plastic storage bag. Seal the bag, leaving a small opening, then use a rolling pin to pound the breast to a uniform thickness. Pour in about a quarter of the reserved balsamic vinaigrette, then seal the bag and toss it around to fully coat the chicken.
  • Grill the chicken until it's cooked in the middle, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside to cool slightly. Dice up the chicken when it's cool enough to handle.
  • Add the salad greens to a large bowl. Add half of the remaining dressing and toss it to coat the greens. Add more if it needs it. Add the chicken, pecans, strawberries and green onions. Toss it gently a few times until it's all combined. Top with the crumbled goat cheese and toss a couple of times.
  • Place an equal amount of salad down the middle of each tortilla. Roll up, then slice in half.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Choose strawberries that are deep red and juicy, with no bruises or blemishes.
  • Slice the strawberries thinly: This will help them to absorb the flavors of the dressing and marinate more easily.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will add depth to your salad. Look for a vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The strawberries will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This chicken and strawberry salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet strawberries, tangy balsamic vinegar, and grilled chicken is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
