Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium heat. Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Allow the chicken to rest before slicing.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the grated fresh ginger, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  3. While the chicken is resting, slice the fresh strawberries and finely dice the red onion.
  4. In a large bowl, add the washed baby spinach, juicy strawberries, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to combine.
  5. Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad. Drizzle with the ginger-lime dressing.
  6. Transfer servings onto individual plates. This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Optional: Top with your favorite nuts for an extra crunch! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, keeping the dressing separate until serving.
