Description

Crunchy, raw jicama and fresh strawberries take center stage in this bright Jicama Strawberry Summer Salad.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound mixed salad greens
  • 1/4 pound jicama, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 pound fresh strawberries,hulled and quartered (about 1/2 pint or 1 cup when cut)
  • 1 small (10 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 12 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced (or use the pre-cooked frozen chicken breasts) (optional)
  • 3 Tablespoons poppy-seed dressing (or to taste) (I like Breanna’s Homestyle Dressing)
  • 2 Tablespoons sliced, toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, layer lettuce, jicama, oranges, strawberries, and chicken.
  2. Add the desired amount of dressing and toss to coat.
  3. Sprinkle with toasted almonds before serving.
  4. (To be honest, I eyeball all my salads, so feel free to use my photos as a reference and change up the measurements to suit your personal tastes.)

Notes

  • Gluten-Free: As always, check your dressing labels, but this should be gluten-free!
  • Vegan: Leave off the chicken, and use Breanna’s dressing to make sure it’s vegan!
  • This will serve 2 for a lunch or 4-6 side salads.
