Strawberry Fields Salad with juicy fresh strawberries, feta cheese, red onion, dried cranberries, bacon, grilled chicken, glazed pecans, and a sweet and tangy dressing is bursting with flavor. This is such a great salad for spring!

 
There’s sweetness from the strawberries, glazed pecans, and dressing, plus lots of saltiness from the feta cheese and bacon. The sweetness is balanced with plenty of tartness from the dressing and a little spiciness from the glazed pecans.

Fresh and juicy local strawberries are everywhere this time of year and since they are available for only a short time, I think it is best to try and eat them everyday.
Besides smoothies, salads are my favorite way to use up excess strawberries. I find that really ripe strawberries are so juicy, I only want a little drizzle of salad dressing with them.
Tips for making Strawberry Fields Salad:
This salad is totally customizable. You can use romaine lettuce instead of mixed greens or blue cheese instead of feta.
Use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken instead of grilled.
Shrimp are a great choice if you don’t want to use chicken.
To simplify things, use store-bought glazed pecans.

I add in some grilled chicken when I want to make a main dish out of this salad and leave it out when I am serving Strawberry Fields Salad with something else.
