  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Grilled Chicken Breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • ½ small red onion or 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce (about 1 large heart)
  • 4 cups baby spinach (about 4 ounces)
  • 8 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered (about 1/2 pint)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (about 6 ounces)
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup feta cheese
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, then reduce to medium-low. Stir constantly until golden (3-5 minutes). Transfer to a plate to cool.
  2. Soak sliced onion in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow the flavor. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine romaine, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, and 1 avocado. Sprinkle with salt.
  5. Add drained onion, diced chicken, and half the dressing. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Top with remaining avocado, feta, and almonds. Toss lightly and serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.

Notes

  • Use leftover grilled or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Serve the chicken cold or at room temperature for best texture.
  • Baby kale or mixed greens can substitute for spinach.
