Balsamic Grilled Chicken Strawberry Caprese Salad

This Balsamic Grilled Chicken Strawberry Caprese Salad is a delicious twist on a classic Italian salad – the caprese. I love the combination of strawberry with creamy mozzarella and sweet yet tangy balsamic grilled chicken. You will love this recipe if you try it!

It’s so easy to prepare too. Start by making a dressing/marinade for the chicken. Marinate the chicken with half of the mixture and place in the refrigerator to chill. Remove chicken from marinade and discard. Grill chicken turning once halfway through. Once cool enough to handle, slice into strips and set aside. Make the salad by combining strawberries, mozzarella, avocado, lettuce, and grilled chicken strips in a large bowl. Drizzle the reserved dressing over the top and toss to coat. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve immediately.

To make Balsamic Grilled Chicken Strawberry Caprese Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
