Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chicken Salad with Fresh Strawberries and Pecans.
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill to high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grill grate to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 2
Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on it and let them sizzle for about 8 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear, signaling that they’re perfectly cooked.
Step 3
When they’re done, take them off the grill, allow them to cool for a moment, and then slice them into delicious strips.
Step 4
Next, grab a dry skillet and set it over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Toss in the pecans and toast them, stirring frequently until they become fragrant—this should take around 8 minutes.
Step 6
Once they’re golden and aromatic, remove them from the heat and set them aside to cool.
Step 7
Now, let’s whip up a delightful dressing to tie everything together.
Step 8
In a blender, combine red wine vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil, minced onion, ground mustard, salt, and ground white pepper.
Step 9
Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a tangy dressing that will elevate your salad.
Step 10
For the grand assembly, take your serving plates and lay down a bed of torn Bibb lettuce.
Step 11
This tender lettuce will serve as the perfect base.
Step 12
Next, artfully arrange the sliced grilled chicken on top, followed by fresh strawberries for a burst of sweetness and the toasted pecans for that satisfying crunch.
Step 13
Just before serving, drizzle the homemade dressing over the salad, allowing all those vibrant flavors to mingle.
Step 14
Enjoy your beautifully crafted salad, a perfect blend of textures and tastes that’s sure to impress!.
