Ingredients
  

Dressing
  • 3 tablespoon golden balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped shallots
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 0.125 teaspoon kosher salt

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients.
  2. Season chicken with seasoned salt, then mix in crushed garlic.
  3. Light the grill or indoor grill pan on medium heat. When hot, spray the grates with oil and grill the chicken about 10 to 11 minutes on each side until charred on the outside and cooked through in the center. Set aside on a cutting board and slice on an angle.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the spinach with the dressing. Divide between 4 plates and top with strawberries, goat cheese, and grilled chicken.

Notes

This salad is delicious and perfect for a light summer meal. You can substitute feta cheese for goat cheese or add nuts like walnuts or slivered almonds for extra crunch.
