Grilled Chicken & Blackberry Salad with Bacon, Feta, and Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients

For the Salad:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Farm Fresh Northwest preferred)
Olive oil, salt, and pepper (for grilling)
6 cups mixed spring greens or butter lettuce
1 cup fresh blackberries
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped or crumbled
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 green onions, sliced
Balsamic glaze (for drizzling)

Optional Add-ins:

Toasted pecans or walnuts for crunch
A few mint leaves for a refreshing twist
Avocado slices for richness

Instructions

Grill the Chicken:
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill 6–7 minutes per side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Rest 5 minutes, then slice or chop into chunks.
Assemble the Salad:
Arrange greens on a large platter or individual plates. Top with blackberries, grilled chicken, chopped bacon, feta, and green onions.
Dress It:
Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Tips

Don’t overdress — balsamic glaze goes a long way with juicy fruit and salty cheese.
Grill your chicken ahead of time and chill — this salad is just as good cold.
If you prefer a vinaigrette: Whisk 3 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp honey, a pinch of salt, and cracked pepper.
