Even though we had unusually cold weather on Memorial Day I just NEEDED some summer food- you know the kind: salads; crispy, tangy salads!
One of my favorite salads is the Strawberry Spinach salad but I didn't have spinach (and Gordon doesn't care for spinach). So I decided to improvise- I love that way of cooking. There is always an element of serendipity in improv!
What I DID have was strawberries (yum!), iceberg lettuce, an aging avocado (how the heck did that happen) candied pecans left over from the last time I made SS salad and, to make it more acceptable to my carnivore husband, a grilled chicken breast. I made up some of the fresh strawberry vinaigrette dressing that I love and threw it all together in an aesthetically pleasing manner...
Now I have another favorite *summer food*!

Holy Happiness on a Plate!
I whipped out the first grilled chicken salad myself the other day. Really filling! Too cold for winter, but great in the summery springy times when its too warm anyway :)
