Erin's Grilled Chicken & Berry Salad

you know that chicken and berry salad you can only get at wendys during the summer? well, i ate a lot of those last summer but decided this summer (especially when i saw they changed their dressing and it now has corn syrup!) i wanted to make it at home. luckily, the gals over at ourbestbites.comalready beat me to the idea and their version is waaay better than even the wendys salad. so here is the recipe and the link (cause you'll want to look at the pretty pics). 

Grilled Chicken & Berry SaladRecipe by Our Best Bites, Inspired by the Pigtailed Red-Head of Hamburger Fame
1/2 head Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
6-8 oz. baby spinach
12-16 oz. chicken, marinated, grilled, and sliced*
8 oz. strawberries, sliced
8 oz. blueberries
4 oz. crumbled Feta or shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
1 c. sliced almonds, toasted
Berry Poppy Seed Dressing to taste
For serving a large crowd, toss all the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl and add dressing to taste. For individual servings, arrange ingredients on plates and serve the dressing on the side. Makes about 8 side dish servings and 4 main dish servings.
*For a vegetarian dish, omit the chicken.
