Strawberry Basil Jicama Chicken Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed green
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped basil
- 1/2 cup pre-cooked chicken Works great with my Tangy Lemon Pepper Chicken (linked in notes below), or use rotisserie chicken in a pinch
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries sliced
- 1/3 cup jicama cut into matchsticks or small cubes
- 1/8 cup walnuts roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup Strawberry Lemon Vinaigrette see my recipe, or use your favorite vinaigrette
Instructions
- Place the mixed greens, arugula, and basil in a large bowl. (Tip: Chop the greens into bite-sized pieces if you prefer a chopped salad.)
- Add the strawberries, jicama, chicken, walnuts, and feta on top of the greens. (Tip: Chopping the chicken into small pieces makes the salad feel heartier and easier to eat.)
- Drizzle with Strawberry Lemon Vinaigrette (or your favorite dressing) and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a chopped salad style, dice all ingredients (including the greens and chicken) into bite-sized pieces. This makes the salad easier to eat and makes eating the salad last longer.
- Double the protein if you have higher protein/calorie goals.
- If you do not have any pre-cooked chicken, try this recipe: Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken Strips.
