Strawberry Salad recipe

This is one of my favorite salads, I first had it when I was teaching. One of the moms brought it for teacher appreciation day (from TGI Friday's). This is the Richards Family Four version:

Grill two chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper or crazy salt.

Slice 8 fresh strawberries - cover strawberries with Balsamic vinegar (about 1/4 cup), 1 T. water and sprinkle with sugar (or fave sugar substitute)

Chop about 1/2 cup pecans - put into small skillet, add 1 T. water and sprinkle the top with brown sugar (did you know Splenda makes a brown sugar). Cook for about 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool. - You can skip the pecan glazing and just use plain pecans.

Salad - Chop your fave green mix - we like romaine, arugula and spinach. Add your favorite balsamic vinaigrette. Top with strawberries, blueberries, pecans, bleu cheese, Parmesan cheese and grilled chicken.
