Grilled Chicken with Perfect Salad

Pinspiration:  Perfect Salad
Old Stand-by:  Grilled Chicken Breast

Our dinner tonight consists of the boring old stand-by grilled chicken breast.  I don't really know what Rich does to it, we usually don't use a marinade, just dry seasonings.  The fun part of our dinner is this beautiful, colorful summer salad I found on Pinterest.  It has been sitting on my "For Eats!" board for a while waiting to be made!  My kids LOVE strawberries and 75% of my family of four LOVE avocado, so we are good.  They can be picked around if they are found to be THAT appalling. My husband and kids HATE spinach salad so we usually use green leaf lettuce instead.

Unfortunately, like some recipes I find on Pinterest, this one sends you to what I like to refer to as the "Black Hole of Pins" or pins that bounce from one pin to another and never take you to the actual recipe.  Luckily, this one is pretty self explanatory so I am going to wing it. This recipe willl not be precise, just kind of talking ingredients.

Perfect Salad

Ingredients:
Green Leaf Lettuce, rinsed and chopped
Strawberries, rinsed, stems removed and cut in half
Avocado, sliced
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Pecans

Put all ingredients in a bowl or on a plate, serve and enjoy!

Yes, I see the little green things in there that look like little Wasabi peas but we are by passing them today.  As for dressing, it will be a pick your own kind of deal.  I usually keep a few standards around but I will probably whip up an easy Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette.
