Description
A fresh, flavor-packed salad loaded with juicy berries, tender chicken, creamy goat cheese, and crisp greens. It’s bright, balanced, and totally remixable.
Ingredients
4 cups butter lettuce or mixed greens
4 large strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup blueberries
1/3 cup raspberries (about 12 berries)
1/3 cup blackberries (about 12 berries)
3/4 to 1 cup rotisserie chicken
3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
- Rinse all berries and pat them dry. Slice the strawberries and set aside.
- Add the lettuce to a large mixing bowl. Top with the chicken, sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- Sprinkle goat cheese over the top.
- Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette (or your dressing of choice) just before serving.
- Toss gently to combine, or serve layered for a more composed presentation.
Notes
Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to keep this salad super quick, or sub in leftover grilled or baked chicken — anything with good flavor works.
Goat cheese brings creamy, tangy contrast to the sweet berries. Want something bolder? Crumbled blue cheese adds a little funk.
Choose ripe, fresh berries for the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen, thaw and pat them dry so they don’t water down the salad.
Baby red and green leaf lettuce bring color and tenderness to every bite. Spring mix or baby spinach are great swaps if that’s what you’ve got.
