Summer 🍓 Strawberry Salad

Summer salads are great any time of year, but when it’s warmer out and the produce is so sweet and flavorful, it makes it incredibly fresh and delicious. That’s why this summer 🍓strawberry🍓 salad is the perfect dish.

• 1 Rotisserie chicken (*optional)
  
• 1-2 cups grain of your choice – quinoa, farro, barley
• Vegetable broth
• 1/3 tsp salt
  
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  
• 5 oz. arugula
• 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries
• 1/2 cup fat-free feta cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• Salt and pepper taste
• 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

• Start by making your grain to package directions. We recommend using vegetable stock for more flavor than using water.

• Also, if you are adding chicken, make it easy on yourself and pick up a fresh rotisserie from the market. Pull off whatever you like best – dark meat or white meat – and add in chunks or slices.

• Whisk lemon juice, oil, maple syrup and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.

• Add the chicken, grain, strawberries and feta to the dressing to combine. Plate the salad and garnish with basil, mint and sliced almonds.

• Zest lemon over the top of the salad for a finishing touch of brightness.
