Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved

4 cups mixed salad greens (a blend of arugula, spinach, and romaine)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup sliced almonds

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: If your chicken is uncooked, grill or poach the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, let them cool down before shredding or dicing into bite-sized pieces.

    Toss the Greens: In a large salad bowl, take your mixed salad greens and gently combine them to ensure an even distribution for a balanced flavor in every bite.

      Add Ingredients: Begin layering the salad by adding the shredded chicken, followed by the fresh cherries, crumbled feta cheese, sliced almonds, red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the greens.

        Dress the Salad: Evenly drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the entire salad. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.

          Mix Gently: Using salad tongs or two large spoons, carefully toss the salad to combine all the ingredients. This will help to ensure that each component is coated in the dressing and enhances the overall flavor.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, for an extra touch of freshness, sprinkle fresh mint leaves on top of your salad. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, and enjoy your vibrant and nutritious Cherry & Chicken Salad Bowl!
