Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts Thinly sliced for even grilling.
  • 2 cups Arugula Adds a peppery punch; spinach can be a substitute.
  • 2 cups Mixed Greens Any green blend works well.
  • 1 cup Strawberries Sliced; can swap for blueberries or raspberries.
  • 1 each Avocado Diced; sliced almonds can be a substitute.
  • ½ cup Feta Cheese Crumbled; goat cheese can be used for a creamier option.
For the Vinaigrette
  • ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rich and flavorful; avocado oil is an alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Champagne Vinegar White wine vinegar is a substitute.
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced; roasted garlic gives a sweeter profile.

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine extra virgin olive oil, champagne vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and finely diced shallot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk or shake until emulsified and smooth. Set aside.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a medium bowl. Pour half of the vinaigrette over the chicken, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to 400°F (204°C). Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest.
  4. On a large platter, layer arugula and mixed greens. Slice grilled chicken and arrange on top. Add sliced strawberries and diced avocado. Sprinkle with feta cheese, then drizzle with remaining vinaigrette before serving.
