During summer I like to beat the heat and stay out of the kitchen. I tend to eat a tad lighter too. Since produce is at its best, dinner salads make a great choice for a refreshing meal. That’s why I love this Strawberry Chicken Salad recipe. The chicken cooks up on the grill so there’s no need to crank up the oven. Plus, we toss the salad with a cool dressing that really makes it shine.

We combine yogurt, mayonnaise, cider vinegar and honey. The honey adds a hint of sweetness that perfectly balances tangy yogurt and bright vinegar while the mayo makes it super creamy. Fruit pairs perfectly with grilled meats. Juicy strawberries add a burst of tart-sweet flavor that complements tender white meat chicken. But any fresh fruit you have on hand would be just as delicious here. Cook along with our video. Then let us know – what’s your favorite dinner salad recipe?
