Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, and dried oregano to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast into the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad base by combining baby spinach, romaine lettuce, and red cabbage in a large salad bowl.
Core and slice the Granny Smith apple into thin wedges.
Hull and slice the strawberries.
Add the sliced apple, strawberries, and blueberries to the salad bowl.
Top the salad with grilled chicken slices, roasted unsalted almonds, and crumbled blue cheese.
Drizzle with low sodium balsamic vinaigrette just before serving.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients and serve immediately.
