This dinner salad is perfect for Memorial Day, the 4th or July or any day. It is full of berries, cheese, greens, and chicken. There is also a homemade dressing recipe if you’d like!

Instructions
Dressing
I like to make my dressing in a mason jar. Just add all of the ingredients and tightly cap the jar. Give it all a good shake until it's well mixed. Adjust the seasoning to your liking and then store in the refrigerator until ready to use. It can be stored refrigerated for a couple of weeks. Just give it another shake before using and you are ready to go!
Alternatively you can whisk together the dressing in a bowl. Add all ingredients but the olive oil and whisk until mixed. Then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking until ingredients are combined. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Salad Assembly
I prefer to dress my greens first. Add the greens to a large bowl and add a bit of dressing. Toss greens to coat and adjust amount of dressing to your liking. Place greens on your serving plate.
Arrange chicken, berries, cheese and nuts over salad and serve.
Alternatively you can arrange dry greens on your plate, top with berries, chicken, cheese and nuts and then drizzle with dressing.
For a take and eat lunch, put the dressing in the bottom of a bowl or jar. Top with greens and toppings and seal tightly. When ready to eat, just toss the salad and enjoy!
