Leftover rotisserie chicken would work great too for convenience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>red onion<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 adds a sharp, slightly sweet bite that brings a little zing to this salad. For a milder flavor, you can soak small red onion slices in cold water for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>avocado<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 ripe avocado adds a creaminess to this salad that balances the savory ingredients while adding healthy fats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>almonds<\/strong> \u2013 toasted slivered almonds add a delicious crunch and nutty flavor to this salad. Toasting really brings out their richness so don\u2019t skip this step!<\/li>\n<li><strong>feta cheese<\/strong> \u2013 crumbled feta cheese ties everything together and is salty, creamy and slightly tangy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>poppy seed dressing<\/strong> \u2013 a combination of olive oil, red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, poppy seeds, salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"This Strawberry Poppy Seed Chicken Salad is fresh, flavorful, and perfect for spring and summer!

For a milder flavor, you can soak small red onion slices in cold water for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add avocado last<\/strong> \u2013 this helps prevent the avocado from getting mushy when tossing the salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve immediately after dressing<\/strong> \u2013 this keeps the greens fresh and crisp. No one wants to eat a soggy salad!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season your chicken well<\/strong> \u2013 if cooking fresh chicken, add a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder for extra flavor.

You could use grilled shrimp, salmon, leftover turkey, or chickpeas for a plant-based protein option.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change up the cheese<\/strong> \u2013 feta is classic in this salad, but other options include goat cheese, crumbled blue cheese, mozzarella pearls or shaved parmesan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it heartier<\/strong> \u2013 to make this salad even more filling, try adding in some cooked quinoa, farro, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/perfect-instant-pot-brown-rice\/\">brown rice<\/a> or even a little orzo pasta.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix up the fresh fruit <\/strong>\u2013 you can also add blueberries, raspberries, mandarin oranges, apples, pears or even dried cranberries to mix things up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap the nuts<\/strong> \u2013 almonds add great texture, but you can also try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/candied-maple-walnuts\/\">candied walnuts<\/a> or pecans, cashews or even sunflower seeds for an added crunch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add creaminess<\/strong> \u2013 if you love a creamy texture, try adding in more avocado slices, toss in a spoonful of creamy goat cheese or you can add a tablespoon or two of Greek yogurt or mayo to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/poppy-seed-dressing-recipe\/\">poppy seed dressing<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"This Strawberry Poppy Seed Chicken Salad is fresh, flavorful, and perfect for spring and summer!
