Ingredients

Salad:

  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

  • 1 cup fresh spinach

  • 1 cup chopped kale

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

  • 1 cooked chicken breast, sliced

  • ½ cup sliced almonds

  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Dressing:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Toss romaine, spinach, and kale together in a medium mixing bowl. Distribute sliced strawberries evenly on top of the greens. Arrange chicken over salad. Garnish with almond slices and feta cheese.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Arrange quartered strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.

  4. Roast in the preheated oven until softened and golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.

  5. Combine roasted strawberries with their juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor; process dressing until smooth. Drizzle dressing over salad and serve.

Cook's Notes:

You can use any 3 types of lettuce that you'd like.

You can use whole-grain mustard instead of Dijon, if desired.
