Instruction
- For the dressing, place the lemon juice, sea salt, mustard, and strawberries into the blender. Blend until smooth. Then with the blender running at low speeds, (3-4 on a Vitamix) add the oil slowly in a thin steady stream until all the oil is added and the dressing is emulsified. Transfer to a container/or jar. Then stir the chia seeds in by hand and let sit to thicken about 10 minutes.
- While the dressing sits, place the spinach in a large serving bowl. Then top with the grilled chicken, berries, pumpkin seeds, and avocado.
- Serve the salad and dressing together, or toss to combine before serving.
