1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: If using raw chicken breast, season with salt and pepper and grill, bake, or sauté until cooked through (about 20-25 minutes). Let it cool, then shred or dice.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, blend the shredded chicken, baby spinach, diced avocado, sliced strawberries, red onion, and nuts. If using, gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.

          Serve: Plate the salad in individual bowls or on a large serving platter. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to enhance the taste.
