For the Salad:

• 4 cups mixed greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, romaine, or your choice)
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, fresh strawberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
2. If you’re adding grilled chicken breast or shrimp for extra protein, make sure it’s cooked and sliced or diced, then add it to the salad.
3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, honey (or sugar substitute), salt, and pepper. Adjust the sweetness and seasoning to your liking.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together to ensure even coating.
