This strawberry spinach salad with grilled chicken and poppy seed dressing is a fantastic summer dinner salad that is as easy as it is beautiful to serve. You can also omit the chicken and serve it as a first course which is also a wonderful way to start a summer meal. In the spring when blood oranges are in season, try them in place of regular orange juice for the dressing and you’ll have a beautiful “pink” poppy seed dressing which is quite stunning!

SPINACH STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN
AND POPPY SEED DRESSING
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

For Chicken:
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin into cutlets
½ tsp (2.5ml) orange zest
¼ cup (60ml) fresh squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp. (15ml) grape seed oil
1 tsp. (5ml) Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. (15 ml) white wine vinegar
2-3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste

For Salad:
7 oz (200g) of baby spinach
8 large ripe strawberries, tops removed, and sliced
¼ cup (40g) sliced raw almonds
1/3 cup (50g) crumbled goat cheese
1 English cucumber, peeled into ribbons with a potato peeler

For Dressing:
2 tbsp. (30ml) Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp. (30ml) white wine vinegar
2 tbsp (30ml) honey
4-6 tbsp (60ml-90ml) grape seed oil
2 small oranges juiced
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp (5ml) poppy seeds

METHOD:
Lightly salt the chicken a few hours before grilling. This will make it tender and juicy. Place in a casserole dish, single layer and refrigerate until ready to use.

Then an hour before grilling. Mix up the marinade. Pour it over the chicken and allow to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Grill the chicken 4-5 minutes each side until cooked through. Remove from the grill and allow to rest.

In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar and honey until combined. Slowly add the grape seed oil until the dressing is thick and emulsified. Use 4 tbsp for a tart dressing, 6 for a more mellow dressing.

Then add the blood orange juice, salt and pepper and stir in the poppy seeds.

On a large platter create a bed of spinach. Add the almonds, goat cheese, strawberries and cucumber ribbons.

Carve the chicken breasts on the diagonal, and then transfer the chicken with a chef’s knife keeping the breast intact, to the top of the spinach. Top with freshly cracked pepper.

Serve the salad with the dressing on the side and warm crusty baguette.

    Hi Beth, I just love following you. You have the best recipes and your voice is so soothing to me. I was wondering if your doing any boxes of any kind. I miss getting your boxes so much. Are you working on anything new!! Staci

    💛🌼💛🌼💛My kids just asked me to make this for tomorrow's lunch!🤩Channels like yours keep my kids guessing what i'm making the next day! What I found out is that they're more likely to eat their veggies without complaining so much because so far all the recipes I've made have been amazing! God bless you!

    Love the camera work on your videos 📹
    The focus on the food with the angles, close up shots, the whole lighting thing…just makes it such a wholesome experience for the viewers.

    Hi, love this video as I love appliances that work with you, not against you. I'm a fan of vintage appliances, and use my collection of Sunbeam cookers, frypans, deep fryers, egg cookers, coffeemakers etc. all from the late 1940's and 1950's. We bought a new range, and stove recently, but I missed out on the new Kitchenaide! I would love to use the model you have. I would have considered it had I known about it. The one thing I wish range, and oven makers would sell is oven racks that can go in the dishwasher to degrease them. The same goes for refrigerator racks, and bins.Thanks for sharing.

    Omg that oven is like from another Galaxy! So modern and functional! 🥰 Also, I saw you used a red orange juice – can I use regular orange as well?
    PS: I got this fancy peeler once in your subscription box – it is great and I use it all the time!

    Loved this video. Huge fan of a strawberry spinach salad 🥗. I know people can get a little whiney about sponsored videos (which I don’t get at all) but I have to say that this really was effective. This oven seems fantastic and I doubt I would have ever known it existed if you didn’t share. If I will definitely be considering this product next time I’m in the market for new appliances. There is no denying that sponsored videos work for the companies,, the youtubers and the viewers 👍

    Hi! So interested in getting this oven from KitchenAid. What is the clean up like for the grill ensemble?

  20. Katherine Khan

    Thanks for sharing love the new oven , may need to get next time. We grill inside a lot and the house fills with smoke, looks like a great solution.

  21. Ginger Johnson

    This looks stunning! I will be taking this to a BBQ soon. Thanks for sharing more on the oven. I removed my wall oven a few years back but still have space for one. This specific one is very intriguing!❤️❤️❤️

    Hi I love your kitchen !!! I have a question I hear so many people recommending the induction stove but when they have the kitchen revealed is always gas can you do a review on the difference between the two

  30. Heather B
