Strawberry and Warm Chicken Salad

Submitted by Ducky

"I walked into Marshall Field's looking for a set of knives and smelled the demo lady cooking this. Oh, my, it smelled so good. Took a copy of the recipe and made it for dinner. Well, it was good. I used raspberry vinegar and prepackaged greens (approx 7 1/2 C)."

OH MY GOD is all I can say. I saw this and thought hummm sounds pretty intresting. Strawberries are in season here buy them by the flat. And my hubby & kids eat them like no tomorrow including our dogs...lol I made the salad with Raspberry Vingerette(my favorite salad dressing in world) I did include walnuts in mix sooner saute in Butter/Oil mix(we used Grapeseed oil)They absorbed every sweet/tangy taste. It is amazing and great way to get kids to eat a salad. 2 thumbs up from us inculding Paws...lol

This was really great- especially for spring time. I used red wine vinegar, but next time I think I'll make sure to use the raspberry vinegar because it just seems like it would make the dish so much better. I used pecans instead of walnuts (what I had on hand) and they were just great. All together, a wonderful salad. Thanks! (And I'm jealous you get to go to Marshall Field's- won don't have one down here...)
