Other Strawberry Chicken Salad Ideas:

• Use multi colored peppers
• Swap Blueberries in place of Strawberries
• Make salad ahead of time, and then cook Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken right before you’re ready to serve! Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken is also super yummy cold!
• Any nuts can be used in place of the pecans, I especially like slivered almonds!
• Pre-cooked bacon can be used instead of freshly cooked to save on time.
• Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing can be used as a marinade for the cooked Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken, rather than drizzling on top of the salad.

This Strawberry Chicken Salad is perfect for those days when you are running around doing errands or going to after school practices. It can be made ahead, and the ingredients are easy to find at your local Walmart!

I was able to easily find the Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing in the condiment aisle of Walmart, and the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken in the frozen section.
