Ingredients
 

For the salad

  • 11 oz spring mix or baby spinach
  • 3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb fresh raw snow peas rinsed and trimmed
  • 2 lb fresh strawberries hulled halved and sliced
  • 15 oz can mandarin oranges drained
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

For the dressing

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • cup light agave syrup can omit if you want to keep it lower carb

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large bowl with the greens.
  • Top the greens with the remaining ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, make the dressing. Whisk together all of the ingredients and lightly drizzle the dressing over the salad.
  • Give the salad a gentle toss. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, you can season raw chicken breasts with salt and pepper and bake @ 450° F for about 35 mins.
If you'd like to make this ahead, store the salad, dressing, and fruit separately in the refrigerator. This will keep the greens from getting wet and soggy.
