Preparation

1 Vinaigrette: Whisk pear nectar, vinegar, olive oil and mustard together to blend. Reserve half of marinade for dressing. Add Club House La Grille Montreal Chicken Seasoning to other half for marinade.
2 Salad: Put chicken and marinade in plastic bag. Let stand 30 to 60 minutes. Remove from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken on greased grill over medium heat and grill 12 to 15 minutes and turning halfway through until no longer pink or an internal temperature of 170°F is reached. Cook asparagus in boiling water until tender-crisp about 3 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water.
3 Assembly: Divide greens on serving plates. Slice chicken and arrange over greens. Top with asparagus, strawberries, pear slices and onion. Drizzle with reserved dressing. Sprinkle pecans on top.
4 Tips:
5 · Replace pecans with walnuts or sliced almonds or omit if desired.
6 · Brush pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
