The Chicken and Berry Salad:

This salad is made with fresh baby greens (from the farmers market), an assortment of sweet berries, red onion, feta cheese, walnuts and a perfectly cooked chicken breast, all drizzled with a heart healthy lemon vinaigrette!

The Chicken: You Have Three Choices!

I am going to offer you three options for the chicken: you can grill it, make it on the cooktop, or if you are really pressed for time you can certainly use rotisserie chicken. It will be fabulous no matter which you choose! (Cooktop method pictured below)

The Lemon Vinaigrette:

The dressing for this salad comes together in about 90 seconds. Simply whisk together good quality olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey for a slightly sweet, tangy, heart and brain boosting salad dressing!

What you need: as always you need a good knife. I use a hand held juicer to juice citrus.
