Strawberries were 97¢ /quart and even though they're not in season, I had to get them for that price! I bought myself a rotisserie chicken and seasoned as written. DH and I loved it!!

This is SO good! We loved the balsamic dressing over the strawberries. I didn't have white balsamic but it still worked out great. Fabulous flavor combinations and the pecans and feta were great additions. This was a favorite for us. Thank you!

What a delicious and healthy salad. We love spinach salad and the addition of the strawberries along with the feta, pecans and balsamic vinaigrette really complimented each other well. I used some left over breaded chicken breast and it worked perfectly. Another winner of a recipe and one I'll make often.
