Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine olive oil, vinegar, honey, sugar, poppy seeds, salt, mustard, and grated onion in a blender; blend until smooth. Transfer dressing to a bowl or jar; cover and refrigerate before serving, at least 1 hour.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, combine Italian dressing and teriyaki sauce in a glass or ceramic bowl; add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator before grilling, 30 to 60 minutes.
  3. 3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  4. 4 Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
  5. 5 Cook on the preheated grill until chicken is no longer pink in centers and juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool about 10 minutes; cut into bite-sized pieces.
  6. 6 Toss chicken, spinach, and romaine lettuce together in a large bowl; gently stir in strawberries and avocado. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  7. 7 Toss salad with dressing and pecans just before serving.
