Summer is a great time for salad. Summer fruits like strawberries are great to pair with greens for a healthy meal. You can put this together with left over chicken and you will not have to heat up the kitchen when it's hot. I used lemon pepper chicken I made on the grill the night before. You can make the dressing listed here or buy bottled dressing. I like to make my own because I know there is not a lot of sugar or artificial ingredients. Feel free to change up the ingredients on the dressing or the salad to make it your own.
