Tips:
- Utilize fresh, ripe ingredients: Fresh strawberries, oranges, and chicken are essential for the best flavor and texture.
- Slice the strawberries and oranges evenly: This ensures they cook evenly and look appealing in the salad.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked through to prevent any risk of foodborne illness.
- Use a light, citrusy dressing: A simple vinaigrette or a dressing made with orange juice and zest complements the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
- Add some crunch: A handful of chopped walnuts or almonds adds a nice textural contrast to the salad.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the oranges and strawberries can release their juices and make the salad soggy if it sits for too long.
