Description

Tender chicken mingles with sweet-scented strawberries, crisp greens, and crunchy almonds, all coated in a zesty honey-balsamic dressing that brightens every bite.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cooked chicken, sliced strawberries, and red onion.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  4. Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and sliced almonds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
  • Swap feta cheese with goat cheese for a creamier texture and tangier taste.
  • Add sliced avocado or cucumber for additional freshness and color.
  • Store leftover salad ingredients and dressing separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
