- 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
