- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons Honey

Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice them into rounds or segments and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, salad greens, halved grapes, sliced cucumber, and orange slices.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese over the salad mixture.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional almonds or feta, if desired.
