The

beautiful salad that is a complete meal for lunch or even dinner. The
strawberries get marinated in honey and balsamic vinegar which then serves as
an oil free dressing for the entire salad. A few salty olives and crunchy
walnuts added with perfectly grilled lime cumin grilled chicken add further
layers of contrast in taste and texture. Perfect.
