Ingredients:

1/2 head Romaine lettuce; washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces

6-8 oz. baby spinach

12-16 oz. chicken; grilled and cubed

8 oz. strawberries; sliced

8 oz. blueberries

4 oz. crumbled Feta or shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

1 c. sliced almonds; toasted

Separator

Berry Poppy Seed Dressing:

1/2 c. white wine vinegar

1/2 c. honey (or sugar)

1-2 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon onion; grated

1 tsp. kosher or other coarse salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1 c. raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries

2/3 c. canola oil

1 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds

Directions:

For the dressing:

Combine the vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and berries in the jar of a blender. Blend until smooth and then, with the blender running, add the oil in a steady stream. Turn off the blender and whisk in the poppy seeds. If possible, refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

For serving a large crowd, toss all the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl and add dressing to taste.

For individual servings, arrange ingredients on plates and serve the dressing on the side. Makes about 8 side dish servings and 4 main dish servings.

This is great without the chicken as well!
