Strawberry Chicken Salad

This is a quintessential summer dinner salad -- lovely, light, and different. Dress with strawberry vinaigrette dressing and you have a real treat on a hot summer night.
Ingredients:
½ lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, grilled or broiled
8 cups lettuce, spinach, and/or arugula (fill a 2-quart mixing bowl)

2 cups sliced strawberries
¼ cup sliced or slivered toasted almonds (toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds are also good)
2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled (Parmesan also works well)
Preparation:
Toss the greens with about ¼ cup strawberry vinaigrette or other oil and vinegar type salad dressing. Arrange the rest of the ingredients on top of the greens. For meal-sized salads, distribute between two plates or bowls.
