California Chicken Salad

Recipe from Macaroni and Cheesecake

This was a really good, refreshing salad. And we loved the Balsamic Poppyseed dressing.

The only thing that would've made this better is if the avocado I bought was a bit more ripe. My bad. :/ But I really loved all these flavors together! I could've easily skipped the chicken on this one because the flavors of the fruits, veggies and dressing were so great.

Ingredients:
Dressing:
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c red wine vinegar
2 T honey
1 t Dijon mustard
1/8 t kosher salt
1/4 c EVOO
1 T poppy seeds
1 t sugar

Salad:
Arugula or greens of choice
Strawberries, sliced
Mango, chopped
Avocado, chopped
Chicken, grilled and chopped or shredded

Directions:
Whisk dressing ingredients well.

Layer on a plate the salad ingredients, and top with dressing. Enjoy!

I just had to take a picture pre-chicken. Love the colors!

This looks delicious! And you're right, without the chicken, this would be a great side dish!
