Celebrate strawberry season with this easy, protein-packed spinach salad. We lightened up classic creamy poppy seed dressing by swapping the sugar for honey and added nutrients by replacing the poppy seeds with chia seeds. Talk about a fresh take on a spring favorite!

Strawberry & Spinach Salad with Rotisserie Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (1 pint) strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon minced shallot

  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons mild olive oil
  • 8 cups baby spinach
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken breast (skin and bones discarded)
  • 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

Directions

Finely chop one strawberry and place it in a small mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, honey, yogurt, chia seeds, shallots, mustard and salt and whisk until everything is well combined. Gradually whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream.

Divide the spinach among four shallow bowls. Top with the chicken, strawberries and almonds. Drizzle salads with dressing and serve.
