Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded or cubed)

- 1 cup Strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 cup Mandarin oranges (drained, canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 1 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Almonds (toasted, sliced or slivered)
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Honey

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or cubed chicken, mixed salad greens, sliced strawberries, mandarin oranges, blueberries, and sliced cucumber.
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until they are golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese over the salad mixture in the bowl.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing evenly over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients and evenly distribute the dressing.
Serve immediately in individual plates or bowls. Enjoy your refreshing Fruity Chicken Tossed Salad!
