One of my favorite restaurants serves a Strawberry Chicken Salad, so yesterday when I picked up the veggies and noticed five boxes of strawberries and and all of the beautiful lettuce, I knew what was for dinner.
The salad is simple and satisfying. Just slice strawberries, cooked chicken, and scallions. Toss that with freshly grated cheese, sesame seeds, and poppy seed dressing (I used Drew's Natural Poppy Seed dressing).
Just 15 hours after picking up the veggies, two of the five boxes of strawberries have been devoured. Sarah and two of her friends were in the car when I picked up the veggies since they were returning from basketball camp at St. Thomas, and the girls enjoyed one box right then and there. The other box went to the salad and my breakfast this morning. I know that Mike wants to make strawberry shortcake again; he'd better hurry or the berries will be all gone. They are so delicious this year--better than any that I have ever tasted.
Mo, one of Sarah's friends, commented in the car yesterday that the strawberries were the best that she had ever tasted, but she asked why they were so oddly shaped. It is really amazing that people today think that all fruit is naturally uniform in shape and color. I told Mo that these berries were grown naturally without pesticides that help the berries in the store to be so uniform in shape.
Tonight we're having pulled pork sandwiches for dinner (made with the leftovers frozen from Joe's graduation pig roast), and I'll make a cole slaw with the napa cabbage and kohlrabi.
