A delicious meal-sized salad recipe, this Italian Strawberry Arugula Salad with
Chicken makes a delicious, filling meal that you can feel great about! It’s the
perfect summer salad with fresh strawberries, cooked chicken and a homemade
Italian-dijon dressing.






SIMPLE ARUGULA SALAD WITH CHICKEN RECIPE

This year, I’m trying to really focus on my family’s health goals even more than
before.

I’ve always prioritized healthy eating and tried to ensure that our meals had at
least half a plate of vegetables, but with Ella’s busy extra-curricular schedule
and my own lack of meal planning, I found myself grabbing more and more
convenience foods on nights that I had less than 20 minutes to make supper and
hadn’t planned anything.



This salad is perfect on those busy nights. It uses a single cooked chicken
breast for two giant salads, a mix of fresh fruit and veggies that we usually
have on hand, and a simple dressing that can be whipped together in less than
two minutes. It’s filling, flavorful, and super healthy.

I love making my own homemade dressings – it helps me control (or avoid) sugar,
sodium and other nasty ingredients that are sometimes added to store-bought
dressing (including high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, etc). For this dressing, I
used my homemade Italian seasoning for a zesty and fun take on a classic Italian
dressing. 

The salad dressing is zesty, savory and punchy, with a slight earthiness from
the Italian seasoning. It really ties the whole salad together and makes it
taste restaurant-worthy.

Some of my other Homemade Salad Dressing recipes include:

 * Orange Poppyseed Dressing
 * Lemon Olive Oil Salad Dressing
 * Creamy Avocado Dressing
 * Maple Walnut Dressing
 * Avocado Ranch Dressing and Apple Poppyseed Dressing





Committed readers of Sugar, Spice and Glitter may notice that this recipe
contains red onions, even though I just said in my homemade Greek cucumber salad
recipe that I am not a fan.

So, the whole truth is – I just don’t like raw onions. But, charred red onions
are perfect in this salad and give it a bit of bite and smokiness. You can also
reduce the acidic bite of the onions by soaking them in water for a bit before
using them. I also charred the sweet bell peppers and warmed up the cooked
chicken in the skillet after cooking the vegetables, so it absorbed some of the
flavor from the onions and peppers.



Of course, you don’t have to use the exact vegetables that I did. Use whatever
vegetables you really like, or already have on hand. 

Can I prepare this salad in advance? Yes, but I would keep the strawberries,
feta and dressing separate and add just before you plan to eat. The salt in the
feta cheese can cause the arugula to wilt, and strawberries will start to lose
their crispness after a day.

How long does the Italian dressing last? This homemade Italian dijon dressing
will last in a mason jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. The measurements
below only make enough for two salads, but you can triple, quadruple or 10x the
ingredients to make enough dressing for several salads.

CHICKEN ARUGULA SALAD INGREDIENTS

For the salad:

 * Baby arugula
 * Sweet bell pepper, sliced
 * Strawberries, sliced
 * Red onion, sliced
 * Feta cheese
 * Cooked chicken breast, chopped, optional



For the dressing:

 * Dijon mustard
 * Red wine vinegar <– you can replace this with balsamic vinegar, which is
   essentially more aged and sweeter
 * Italian seasoning <– use our recipe for homemade Italian seasoning and
   customize it to your personal preferences
 * Sugar, optional (can use honey)
 * Extra virgin olive oil

Scroll down to the printable recipe card for full measurements.

Makes 4 side salads or 2 lunch-sized salads





Tip: you can swap out my homemade Italian-dijon dressing for your own favorite
dressing. A strawberry vinaigrette or simple oil and balsamic dressing would
also be delicious.

Kitchen Tools You May Find Helpful

 * Cast Iron Skillet <– I love the versatility of a good cast-iron pan – you can
   make everything from eggs to dessert in them and they transition easily from
   the stove to the oven. This one is pre-seasoned and great for even heating
 * Spatula <–I like these spatulas because they are one solid piece and don’t
   have removable heads for bacteria to get trapped underneath. Plus they are
   heat-resistant and have a lifetime warranty.
 * Sharp kitchen knife
 * Small bowl
 * Whisk
 * Salad Spinner or Colander





HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN ARUGULA SALAD WITH CHICKEN

In a small bowl, combine the dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, sugar, red wine
vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Taste and adjust to your personal
preferences.

Set aside.





In a skillet over medium heat, place one tablespoon of olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add your onions (and possibly your peppers, if desired).

Cook until the vegetables are slightly charred or cooked. (You can alternatively
cook them on the BBQ or an indoor grill.)



You can also reheat the chicken in the skillet, if desired.

Place all of the salad ingredients (arugula, strawberries, onions, peppers and
chicken) in a large bowl and crumble your feta cheese overtop.

Pour in the salad dressing and toss to coat all of the vegetables in the
dressing.
