Strawberry and Chicken Spinach Salad

E,

It is officially starting to feel like summer! With the temperature rising, I thought it would be nice to enjoy a crisp and refreshing salad for dinner this week. I had picked up strawberries to make smoothies with, so I wanted to find a recipe that incorporated them along with some spinach I always keep on hand. Prepare to be awed by this delicious salad!

2 packed cups chopped romaine hearts

1 heaping cup sliced strawberries

1 cup chopped or shredded cooked chicken
