    This strawberry grilled chicken salad is my version of the Barbi Salad at a little café in Fort Worth called McKinley's. It is one of my all-time favorites! I'm so glad it's finally strawberry season so I can share it with you! The original one doesn't have avocado, but I added it, because what meal isn't improved by adding avocado?

    This delicious strawberry avocado salad features crisp romaine lettuce, juicy strawberries, creamy avocado, grilled chicken, and tangy goat cheese topped with sweet and crunchy candied pecans and an easy homemade poppy seed dressing. The combination is to die for, and so refreshing for summer. If you don't want to make the candied pecans, you can toast some plain pecans in the oven, and it will be just as delicious.
