- 1 cup candied pecans
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing
- 1 grilled chicken breast (optional), sliced
Instructions
- Rinse strawberries under cold water, pat dry, and slice them into even pieces.
- Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and dry to prevent sogginess.

- Drizzle with poppy seed dressing and gently toss to combine.
- If using, add sliced grilled chicken on top and serve immediately.
Notes
Store salad components separately when possible; dressed salad is best eaten the same day. Use a meat thermometer to ensure grilled chicken reaches 165°F.
