Taste of Tuesday: Spinach Strawberry Salad with Grilled Chicken

I'm so excited to share this recipe with you all today! It's a summertime anytime favorite for our family. It's funny because everyone in my family (this is including aunts, uncles, cousins) pretty much likes the same food. Sure, everyone might like or not like a different part of the food but when it comes to actually eating it, usually its unanimous. The following recipe is always a hit. Ever since I can remember my aunt has been making this and its always so tasty! She makes it as a side salad with just spinach, dressing, almonds and strawberries whereas this recipe is a main dish.
