Strawberry Chicken Salad is filled with chopped romaine lettuce, sprinkles of sliced almonds, sliced strawberries and grilled chicken. This salad is so refreshing and will satisfy anyone!
Spring is finally here! That means it’s time for fresh salads and barbecues. I love it when I walk into the grocery store and see all of the fresh fruits and veggies. I bought a giant case of strawberries at Costco yesterday and knew exactly what I wanted to do with them- make this delicious Strawberry Chicken Salad. This is another great salad inspired from Rococo’s restaurant where I worked many moons ago. It is so simple, yet really delicious.
This incredible salad is filled with chopped romaine lettuce, sprinkles of sliced almonds, sliced strawberries and grilled chicken. What really makes this so great is the dressing. It is a combination of my beloved creamy poppy seed dressing mixed with light raspberry vinaigrette. It’s so simple, yet so perfect!

I am all about strawberries, had a pint last night with some white wine. This salad looks simply refreshing
Oh yeah! Definitely getting me in the Spring & Summer mood now. Got this one bookmarked! I always need good ideas when we go strawberry picking. AND I got some strawberries on sale at Kroger this past week. Woo Hoo!
I love the dressing you made mixing the 2! I want a salad really bad now! It looks so fresh and tasty.
Mmm, strawberries are my all-time favorite fruit. What a delicious idea to use them in a light and healthy salad.
Such a great summer salad! Fire up the grill!
What a unique recipe! This really would be lovely for Spring!
That looks so amazingly wonderful. I cannot wait to try it. Great job!
This sounds like its right up my alley. I’m trying to grow strawberries and this sounds like a wonderful way to use them!

HOlly, this looks so yummy! I’m making the mexican lasagna tonight as I write this note. I do have a question for you, I did notice the oriental chicken salad recipe, but we don’t have the sauce you talk about, what do I substitute for that marinade? Thanks, you rock!
This really is a lovely salad. It speaks of spring and warmer weather and I’m ready for both. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
Oooo Holly this looks wonderfully refreshing!
I actually have met Ree twice, once when she was here in Seattle for her cookbook tour and this last weekend. She was delightful each time.
PS – Ben and I tried the Monte Cristos’ those are my new faves!!
I used to put strawberries in salads, but haven’t done that in a long time. Yours looks delicious and I will definitely put it on my list. Thanks for sharing on Saturday Swap.
I love strawberries on a salad and a poppyseed dressing. Try adding a little feta to it and it will put it over the top.

I hope you could add this strawberry widget at the end of this post so we could add you in our list of food bloggers who blogged about recipes with strawberries,Thanks!
Try adding some glazed pecans to this salad to really kick it up a notch
OMG. This is delicious.
I was skeptical when it came to strawberries on the salad… but with the combination of almonds, Poppy seed + Raspberry Vina. dressing – it all comes together so well. Plus you don’t need that much poppy seed dressing…
it’s one of those salads that you look forward to eating. YUMMY!
Unfortunately I can’t find those dressings in the uk. I can make a raspberry vinaigrette easily but any ideas for a substitute for the other?
Hi Lydia! The creamy poppyseed is an easy dressing to make at home. Here’s a link with a great recipe of it: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/creamy-poppy-seed-dressing/c5bdff32-5745-45b8-80cc-f8c4f382a8d5
I tried this with a different dressing and LOVED IT! Thanks!
