This salad combines many of my favorite spring flavors including strawberries, snap peas, and lime. The homemade poppyseed dressing makes this salad outstanding!
Ingredients:
chicken
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves cut into thin strips
3 tbs. frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1/4 tsp. black pepper
salad
1 lb. fresh baby spinach, stems removed
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh sugar snap peas, cleaned, with strings removed
1/2 cup pecan halves
dressing
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Directions:
1. In a bowl, toss together chicken, concentrate, and pepper. Place chicken in a skillet over medium heat; cook until juices run clear, and chicken is lightly carmelized. Remove pan from heat; set aside. For dressing, in a blender or food processor, combine sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard and onion and process for 20 seconds. With blender or food processor on high, gradually add oil in a slow, steady stream. Stir in poppy seeds. Arrange baby spinach on four salad plates, top with berries, peas, pecans, and chicken. Serve with the dressing.
