Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 ripe avocado, diced

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or spring mix)

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup feta cheese or goat cheese, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette or dressing of choice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If you haven't done so, cook and shred or dice the chicken breast. This can be done ahead of time for convenience.

    Wash the Greens: Rinse the mixed greens under cold water, then dry thoroughly using a salad spinner or by patting down with paper towels.

      Slice the Strawberries: Hull the strawberries to remove the green tops, then slice them into thin pieces.

        Dice the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces.

          Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, shredded chicken, sliced strawberries, diced avocado, and red onion.

            Add Nuts and Cheese: If using, sprinkle in the chopped pecans or walnuts, and crumbled feta or goat cheese to elevate the flavor and texture of the salad.

              Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the dressing evenly coats everything.

                Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to your liking, and give the salad one last gentle toss.

                  Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls or plates. You can garnish with extra nuts or cheese on top if desired. Enjoy your fresh and healthy Strawberry Avocado Chicken Salad!
